Alone in his room, a man sends messages to the whole world using an amateur radio. CQ, Seek you, "I'm looking for you". Loneliness is a silent illness that spreads quietly throughout our lives and that nobody talks about.

American illustrator Kristen Radtke explores Western loneliness in this unique graphic novel. She wanders through our public and private lives, trying to understand what makes us feel close to others and what distances us from them. Her reflections revolve around society, gender, violence, technology, art and science and directly involve her surroundings. The author embarks on a journey into the history of loneliness and our relationships with others. In doing so, she shares with us feelings that we all sometimes have but do not dare to talk about.

From the invention of canned laughter in sitcoms to Instagram and loner cowboys to Harry Harlow's brutal monkey experiments, Kristen Radtke explores our need to connect with others and the risks that the absence of emotional connection poses.

With its powerful, emotive illustrations and empathetic text, this book unabashedly reveals human vulnerability and the fragile ties that bind us together.
