On New Year's Day 1818, Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein was first published in an
anonymous three-volume edition of 500 copies. Some thought the book was too radical
in implication. A few found the central theme intriguing ... no-one predicted its
success. This book, celebrating the two hundredth birthday of Frankenstein, traces,
in colorful and engaging ways, the journey of Shelley's Frankenstein from limited
edition literature to the bloodstream of contemporary culture. It includes new research
on the novel's origins, and a facsimile reprint of the earliest-known manuscript version
of the creation scene. Frankenstein's legacy is to be seen all over the world--on
small and large screens, in print and online, on stage and on hoardings, in graphic
novels, comics and even on cereal packets. From a Regency nightmare, Frankenstein's
creature has even become a cuddly childhood companion--thoroughly munstered, so to
speak. The real creation myth of modern times--the era of genetic engineering, three-parent
babies, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics and singularity, human/animal
interfaces and secularism--is no longer Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The real
creation myth is Frankenstein. -- Inside jacket flap
