Lieber allein als gar keine Freunde

A plea for a new, positive feeling of loneliness

Anja Rützel always thought it was the others who were lonely: She, at worst, was alone – and that because she chose to. But when her beloved dog Figo dies, she suddenly realises: In the age of Facebook & co, who lead one to believe in solidarity where it does not exist, the boundary between cosy being-alone and loneliness is narrow. In her very own Rützel manner, she sets off on a journey into the world of loneliness, the lonely, into the world of supposed social networks, analogue networks, shared unhappiness and lots more.
