In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson, a senior editor at The Atlantic, dives into the hidden psychology and economics behind why some things become wildly popular while others fade away.
From viral songs to bestselling books and blockbuster movies, he explores how culture, timing, familiarity, and influence shape public taste.
Using examples like Disney, Facebook, and pop music, Thompson breaks down the myth of pure creativity and reveals how hits are often carefully engineered.
The book combines behavioural economics, marketing insight, and storytelling to demystify what truly makes content go viral or products succeed.
