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. `I have no fear, therefore I am powerful.' What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest thing 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."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Transgender people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sex dolls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cryonics $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Phoenix (Ariz.) $v Fiction. 700 1 $i Based on work: $a Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, $d 1797-1851. $t Frankenstein. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781473563254 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9107D08B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
