by Dan Abramson (Introduction by), Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Author)

This edition has generous sized font and quality paper that will last. Frankenstein is Mary Shelley's classic horror story.

To quote from this terrifying and famous tale:

"One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race. (Letter 4.21)"

"But it is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing."

What does Mary Shelley's story tell us about the risks and promises of new technology today, especially AI, machine learning and machine communication? This original classic raised questions which are still relevant, and in an engaging ground-breaking novel.
