Description
En una Inglaterra post-Brexit, el joven médico transgénero Ry Shelley conoce al profesor Victor Stein, que lidera el debate público sobre inteligencia artificial, y traba con él una peculiar relación. Mientras tanto, Ron Lord, recién divorciado e instalado con su madre, se dispone a hacerse de oro lanzando una nueva generación de munẽcas sexuales. Al otro lado del Atlántico, en Phoenix, una instalación de criogenia alberga docenas de cadáveres de hombres y mujeres que aguardan a que se les devuelva a la vida. El tiempo de la especie humana se acaba. ¿Qué ocurrirá cuando el "Homo sapiens" no ocupe ya la cima de la cadena evolutiva? ¿Y qué sucederá con las mujeres, que no están participando en el diseño y la programación del futuro? Jeanette Winterson aborda estas preguntas a través de los avatares de unos personajes inolvidables, entre los que destaca una jovencísima Mary Shelley que escribe su profético "Frankenstein" junto al lado Lemán. Esto es una novela de sexo en la que incluso una robot descubre el feminismo radical. Una reflexión sobre qué no es el ser humano.
Description
"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"--publisher desciption for English version.
