Frankissstein

Jeanette Winterson’s Frankissstein reimagines Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the age of AI and gender fluidity. Blending historical narrative with contemporary speculation, the novel interrogates consciousness, embodiment, and desire. Winterson’s voice is playful yet philosophical, moving easily between humour and seriousness. The book questions what it means to be human in a post-human future. Its ideas sometimes outpace its characters, but its ambition is exhilarating. A bold, speculative reinvention.
