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 ...

由《弗兰肯斯坦》串起的前世今生,本来以为是个蒸汽朋克风格的小说,结果大失所望。。基于同一时代背景,吉布森和斯特林的《差分机》创造的是脑洞大开的异想世界,这部小说则是包裹着软科幻外衣的(狗血)爱情穿越故事,对历史故事的再现只能让我觉得作者在投机取巧图懒省事。第一次尝试阅读JW失败(。
评分很一般,没什么新鲜东西。
评分I LOVE THIS STORY. 喜欢开篇玛丽在雨中漫步的精彩描写;喜欢雪莱、拜伦和玛丽的数次对话;喜欢作者创作的严谨,书中提到的机构Alcor、Benlam,提到的人物Bedford、Jack Good都真实存在。弗兰肯斯坦从原小说走出,最后又消失于人海,故事结局和人物命运已经不再重要,因为它们都只是作者想要探讨的主题的载体,用完可弃。这个故事想要探讨的主题通过多次的、不同人物之间的对话抽丝剥茧展现,这些问题俨然已经是哲学基本问题,没有人可以给出完美答案:脱离了身体和标签的人还是不是人?何以为人?现实是什么?存在是什么?科技(AI)和人应该如何共存?这本书叫Frankissstein: A Love Story。It's anything but a love story.
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。
评分其实还是挺不错的,讲到了人类文明的未来走向。我们是否会被AI取代,从现实角度去探索AI的更多潜在可能性。的确,AI的出现,让人类的选择,成功的可能性奠定了厚实的基础。我们都在追求所谓情感共鸣,那么输入了相同喜好数据的AI难道不也是完美契合我们的要求了么?我们要求所有的事物都是真的,可我们又怎么知道当下什么事情是真的呢,非常无解。这种插叙写作手法也挺有意思的,过去与未来,真实与虚构的穿插,有种跟创造自己的和自己创造的世界间相互对话的感觉。
