Instant celebrity. Popularity rules. Extras

Extras by Scott Westerfeld could be a great read for teenagers or young adults who are interested in exploring the consequences and dark side of instant fame and celebrity culture in our world. The book is set in a world where being famous is the ultimate goal, and it follows Aya Fuse, a girl who is ranked so low that she's an extra, until she decides to pursue a story about a secretive group of girls who do crazy tricks. The most unique and distinctive feature of the book is how it explores the power dynamics and consequences of fame and popularity in a world where anyone can be an instant celebrity. The book is fast-paced, thrilling, and thought-provoking, and it will leave readers questioning the value of fame and the cost of achieving it.
