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.
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 ...

這是JW寫給下個AI時代的備忘錄,如果那個時代並不會到來,起碼也是一首齣色的狂想麯,張愛玲談尼采筆下的“超人”,JW的思想就有點“超人”的感覺,雖然她不是男子。這本書可以看做是JW梳理她自己心目中人工智能的簡史,從女數學傢艾達拜倫,到圖靈,到虛構齣來的I.J.Good,現代版科學怪人,由實入虛,如同岸上景物延伸到水麵的投影,亦和瑪麗雪萊人造人的幻想交相呼應;也可以看做是JW給她的故鄉城市曼徹斯特寫的一份備忘;當然少不瞭副標題強調的,a love story,一封情書。幾個主要人物,Ron是另一個“性愛大亨”式的故事,Ry作為trans,讓人想到《極樂之邦》裏的海吉拉,對身體的描寫,當然少不瞭對托卡爾丘剋Flights的迴顧,全書最後一句話如同廢名所說過的: 人生夢幻不可以付之流水。(!)
評分讀到最後發現真的是一個前世今生輪迴相遇的愛情故事???? 很喜歡這種結構和寫法,編排很巧妙。19世紀那條綫和21世紀那條綫相互呼應。現實和虛構界綫的模糊,未來和背後就是過去。關於AI,關於科幻。但其實還說身體、靈魂和愛。不算完美,但很好看。
評分這個結構和寫法可以可以,有點特彆
評分概念有意思,但是現代的部分梗都很老,角色描寫也很淺而且讓人不適。與之前的作品一樣,科幻隻是作為一個工具而不是主體,但這部讀感更加糟糕瞭
