Note(s) : "An audacious new novel about the bodies we live in and the bodies we desire In Brexit
Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love - against their better
judgement - with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around
AI. Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced and living with Mum again, is set to make his
fortune launching a new generation of sex dolls for lonely men everywhere. Across
the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of
men and women who are medically and legally dead... but waiting to return to life.
But the scene is set in 1816, when nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about
creating a non-biological life-form. `I have no fear, therefore I am powerful.' What
will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest thing on the planet? Jeanette
Winterson shows us how much closer we are to that future than we realise. Funny and
furious, bold and clear-sighted, Frankissstein is a love story about life itself."--Publisher
