From internationally bestselling icon Jeanette Winterson comes her
most highly anticipated new book since Why Be Happy When You Could
be Normal?, about the bodies we live in and the bodies we desire
Since her astonishing debut at twenty-five with Oranges Are Not the
Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson has achieved worldwide critical and
commercial success as "one of the most daring and inventive writers
of our time" (Elle). Her new novel, Frankissstein, is an audacious
love story that weaves together disparate lives into an exploration
of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and queer love. Lake
Geneva, 1816. Nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley is inspired to write a
story about a scientist who creates a new life-form. In Brexit
Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love
with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate
around AI and carrying out some experiments of his own in a vast
underground network of tunnels. Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced
and living with his mom 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. What will happen when homo sapiens
is no longer the smartest being on the planet? In fiercely
intelligent prose, Jeanette Winterson shows us how much closer we
are to that future than we realize. Funny and furious, bold and
clear-sighted, Frankissstein is a love story about life itself.
