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. ‘Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.'
What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being 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.
Jeanette Winterson, OBE (born 27 August 1959) is an award-winning English writer, who became famous with her first book, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a semi-autobiographical novel about a sensitive teenage girl rebelling against conventional values. Some of her other novels have explored gender polarities and sexual identity. Winterson is also a broadcaster and a professor of creative writing.
I intentionally avoided this book until it was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The new take on classic never worked for me because most of the time I didn't read the original to begin with. This is an exception and I enjoyed it. The parallel story telling ...

“ask weighty questions with the lightest of touches."性别的边界在哪里,人的边界在哪里,爱的边界又在哪里。像在看一部王家卫的电影。
评分自《苹果笔记本》之后温特森终于又写了科技发展这个主题,把时间、性别、想象力和现实全部流动起来,落脚在人和人造机器(sexbot)之间的关系如何影响对性别的看法/每个人终究还是有自己的bedlam?
评分概念有意思,但是现代的部分梗都很老,角色描写也很浅而且让人不适。与之前的作品一样,科幻只是作为一个工具而不是主体,但这部读感更加糟糕了
评分让我们假装看不见她对人之本质的问与答,假装读不懂平行又轻微错位的love stories,我觉得故事的内核是孤独。人不论深入挖掘还是决心舍弃为人的一面,最终都会导向这个主题。怪物是弗兰肯斯坦,弗兰肯斯坦是玛丽,创作者创作自己;living with doubleness是常态,殊途归于自身,自身是一个人。到最后,作为哪种生命形式存在已经不再重要了。(acknowledgements中温特森写道: This book is dedicated to my godchildren, Ellie and Cal Shearer, who will work to make the future they want to see. 真好。
评分有点俏皮,探讨的东西其实之前的作品中有出现过,比如机器,想象力,现实,但这部作品的语境可能更贴现在吧,探讨AI 人体冷冻 英国脱欧等……(暗搓搓觉得拍电影可能不错?)
