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.

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 ...

能看出作者想问和想回答的是什么;英国社会也的确到了问这些问题的时候,不足的是里面夹杂了太多过于新和时髦的东西了,有时看来俏皮,但有些过了。
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?

评分读到最后发现真的是一个前世今生轮回相遇的爱情故事???? 很喜欢这种结构和写法,编排很巧妙。19世纪那条线和21世纪那条线相互呼应。现实和虚构界线的模糊,未来和背后就是过去。关于AI,关于科幻。但其实还说身体、灵魂和爱。不算完美,但很好看。
评分很一般,没什么新鲜东西。
