Stepping Stone & Love Machine

Two Short Novels from Crosstown to Oblivion

By: Walter Mosley

Narrated by: JD Jackson, Sean Crisden

Stepping Stone and Love Machine are but two of six fragments in the Crosstown to Oblivion short novels in which Walter Mosley entertainingly explores life’s cosmic questions. From life’s meaning to the nature of good and evil, these tales take us on speculative journeys beyond the reality we have come to know. In each tale, someone in our world today is given insight into these long pondered mysteries. But how would the world really receive the answers?

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??

I was able to stick with the stories till the end. However, I'm more of an Easy Rawlins girl than this. It was too way out for me, but yhey were interesting.

Another great book by Walter Mosley

All of Walter Mosley novels are number one with me. This one speaks of a "super flu" with 19 strands killig all sorts of people world wide. 6 to 7 years later, 2019, 2020, COVID hits.
