People
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Fame, in this definition, is a strange advantage: strangers know you, yet you know nothing about them and care little. It sounds like a prize, but it's oddly one-sided. Being known widely isn't the same as being close to anyone.
