FRANKISSSTEIN

By Jeanette Winterson

Synopsis

In Brexit Britain, young transgender doctor, Ry, is falling in love with Victor Stein, a professor leading the public debate around artificial intelligence. In Phoenix, Arizona, a cryonics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically dead… but waiting to return to life. But the scene is set in 1816, when 19-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about creating a non-biological life-form. What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being on the planet?
