A examination of the life and work of six brilliant minds of the twentieth century, intent on answering the question "What can be done not despite but because of loneliness?" At an unprecedented rate, loneliness is moving around the globe-from self-isolating technology and political division to community decay and social fragmentation-and yet it is not a feeling to which we readily admit. It is stigmatized, freighted with shame and fear, and easy to dismiss as mere emotional neediness.

But what defines this secretive family, and do these astute businessmen deserve the opprobrium they receive? In this captivating account, informed by interviews with key figures behind the scenes, journalist and commentator Chris Blackhurst charts the gripping story of the world's biggest football club - as well as exploring the wider transformation of the Premier League into a playground for billionaire owners.
