This book was extraordinary. A combination of art, science, memoir, and social commentary that'll be thinking about for a very long time.
“I want us to use loneliness—yours, and mine—to find our way back to each other. I want us to play songs for each other on the radio. And when we call out across an airwave or telephone or a chat room or an app or a city street or an open field or our bedroom, I want us each to hear , miraculously, a voice calling back.”
Overall, this book contained a lot of insights about the biological and evolutionary reasons behind human psychology. There's one section, about the US gun problem, which seemed a bit off-topic to me, because it doesn't relate to the main theme of loneliness. It's kind of sad, that the gun issue is so ingrained in American culture that it just has to be commented on.
Kristen Radtke takes us on a trip exploring American loneliness. She looks at the laugh track in tv shows, the cowboy, and incidents from her own life to look closely at loneliness.
