    About this audiobook

    Stepping Stone: Truman Pope has spent his whole life watching the world go by. A gentle, unassuming soul, he has worked in the mailroom of a large corporation for decades without making waves, until the day he spots a mysterious woman in yellow. A woman nobody else can see. Soon Truman's quiet life begins to turn upside-down. Love Machine: The brainchild of an eccentric, possibly deranged scientist, the "Love Machine" can merge individual psyches and memories into a collective Co-Mind. Tricked into joining the Co-Mind, as part of a master plan to take over the world, Lois Kim struggles to adapt to her new reality and abilities. Is there any way back to the life that was stolen from her, or is she destined to lead humanity into a strange new era??

      In this pair of novellas, *Stepping Stone* had a more interesting plot and likeable characters. Truman is the senior mailroom employee at a big company in the near future, with not much of an outside life, but something strange happens and he starts making connections with others and figuring out more about himself. *Love Machine* has uncomfortable sexually explicit scenes as part of its story about a Co-Mind that is taking people into itself. There are interesting parts in this book too, but these connections are made forcibly and will be triggery for some. Still, both these stories take a thoughtful approach to modern society and the near future (dystopic but not without hope), as a natural part of the story.
