Since its publication in 1818 "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus" has spread around the globe through every possible medium and variation.. Yet in it's long history, Frankenstein's central premise - that science, not magic or God, can create a living being, and thus these creators must answer for their actions - is most relevant today as scientists approach creating synthetic life. In its popular and cultural weight and its expression of the ethical issues raised by the advance of science, physicist Sidney Perkowitz and film expert Eddy Von Mueller have brought together scholars and scientists, artists and directors to celebrate and examine Mary Shelley's creation and its legacy as the monster moves into his next century. 600 10 $a Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, $d 1797-1851. $t Frankenstein. 600 00 $a Frankenstein's Monster $c (Fictitious character) 600 07 $a Frankenstein's Monster $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750124 630 07 $a Frankenstein (Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357605 650 0 $a Science in literature. 650 0 $a Science in popular culture. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Social History $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Science in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108731 650 7 $a Science in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108734 700 1 $a Perkowitz, Sidney, $e editor. 700 1 $a Mueller, Eddy von, $e editor 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021010.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190523010022.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113141.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180515030348.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502011734.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20180329071943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2BEF4E008AF11E8917D353297128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
