A review by theomnivorescientist
Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson

4.5

The best Frankenstein themed modern novel I have read in 2019. Timely and important. Identity, sexuality, brain and cognitive sciences. You name it and it is there. Is love real? Or cyberlove and sexbots have a chance to create a niche of selfless 'love'? How much 'human' can our future robots be allowed to be? Who wants to die when you can upload your consciousness on the cloud? Is being human merely the memories in our neurons or do we need ageing and frail bodies for the full 'human experience'? Every page will tingle you with novel peculiarities and questions. Ah, the questions. Mary Shelley would be so proud today.
