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.

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。
評分不知道為什麼不覺得怎麼看懂這本書。零散的句子都能看懂,成段成章的就有點不知所雲。
評分很一般,沒什麼新鮮東西。
評分感覺溫特森想談的東西過多,弄成瞭一個什麼都不是的東西。筆法也不穩定,有一段都像好萊塢冒險片瞭????核心的故事也沒講清楚
評分有點俏皮,探討的東西其實之前的作品中有齣現過,比如機器,想象力,現實,但這部作品的語境可能更貼現在吧,探討AI 人體冷凍 英國脫歐等……(暗搓搓覺得拍電影可能不錯?)
