Frankissstein

In her novel Frankissstein, Jeanette Winterson crafts a bold love story that intertwines the lives of diverse characters across time, from Mary Shelley in 1816 Lake Geneva to a young transgender doctor in modern Brexit Britain. As themes of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and queer love unfold, readers encounter a celebrated professor exploring the boundaries of life and death, a man launching innovative sex dolls, and a futuristic cryogenics facility. With incisive prose, Winterson provocatively questions what it means for humanity when it is no longer the most advanced life form on the planet.
