A review by bookedbymadeline
Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
Confusing how there aren’t any quotes around the dialogue

Problematic: Ry compliments a Black woman’s hair by saying she looks like an expert “maybe because of how you style it. Very professional.” As I’ve seen from other reviewers the book does not get any better in Trans rep for Ry. I have no interest in reading about a Trans character that is written for cis people like myself and would rather spend my time on books with more accurate representation.

The conversation around AI-prof stein says that AI won’t make women obsolete or be sexist which begs the question of how could it not be sexist when the ones building the robots are sexist themselves? It’s human error. He’s being idealistic in thinking that a future of AI will be non binary when the creators of AI have their own prejudices and beliefs that will be built into AI, just like humans writing the Bible put their own image on God.

Where is the story even set in?! First they talk about Memphis then they’re going to a bar in Trafalgar Square?
