About this audiobook
Martin Just wakes up one morning after what feels like, and might actually be, a centuries-long sleep with two new innate pieces of knowledge: Humanity is a virus destined to destroy all existence. And he is the Cure.
Martin begins slipping into an alternate consciousness, with new physical strengths, to violently defend his family-the only Black family in their neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles-against pure evil. Think Octavia Butler meets Jeff VanderMeer meets Jordan Peele.
Expansive and innovative, sexy and satirical, Touched brilliantly imagines the ways in which human life and technological innovation threaten existence itself.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a wild ride through the awakening of a man who has been inhabited by another self! Scary and amusing - drama with a racist police and court system just like here and now! Sci fi and comic book like ??
