Jeanette Winterson, OBE (born 27 August 1959) is an award-winning English writer, who became famous with her first book, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a semi-autobiographical novel about a sensitive teenage girl rebelling against conventional values. Some of her other novels have explored gender polarities and sexual identity. Winterson is also a broadcaster and a professor of creative writing.
In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love – against their better judgement – with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI.
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. ‘Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.'
What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being 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.
I intentionally avoided this book until it was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The new take on classic never worked for me because most of the time I didn't read the original to begin with. This is an exception and I enjoyed it. The parallel story telling ...

读到最后发现真的是一个前世今生轮回相遇的爱情故事???? 很喜欢这种结构和写法,编排很巧妙。19世纪那条线和21世纪那条线相互呼应。现实和虚构界线的模糊,未来和背后就是过去。关于AI,关于科幻。但其实还说身体、灵魂和爱。不算完美,但很好看。
评分有点俏皮,探讨的东西其实之前的作品中有出现过,比如机器,想象力,现实,但这部作品的语境可能更贴现在吧,探讨AI 人体冷冻 英国脱欧等……(暗搓搓觉得拍电影可能不错?)
评分读到一半 读不下去了。 不喜欢这个话题。可能是我个人原因 更喜欢写拜伦那个古代的部分。后面有点让我跳戏
评分让我们假装看不见她对人之本质的问与答,假装读不懂平行又轻微错位的love stories,我觉得故事的内核是孤独。人不论深入挖掘还是决心舍弃为人的一面,最终都会导向这个主题。怪物是弗兰肯斯坦,弗兰肯斯坦是玛丽,创作者创作自己;living with doubleness是常态,殊途归于自身,自身是一个人。到最后,作为哪种生命形式存在已经不再重要了。(acknowledgements中温特森写道: This book is dedicated to my godchildren, Ellie and Cal Shearer, who will work to make the future they want to see. 真好。
评分这是JW写给下个AI时代的备忘录,如果那个时代并不会到来,起码也是一首出色的狂想曲,张爱玲谈尼采笔下的“超人”,JW的思想就有点“超人”的感觉,虽然她不是男子。这本书可以看做是JW梳理她自己心目中人工智能的简史,从女数学家艾达拜伦,到图灵,到虚构出来的I.J.Good,现代版科学怪人,由实入虚,如同岸上景物延伸到水面的投影,亦和玛丽雪莱人造人的幻想交相呼应;也可以看做是JW给她的故乡城市曼彻斯特写的一份备忘;当然少不了副标题强调的,a love story,一封情书。几个主要人物,Ron是另一个“性爱大亨”式的故事,Ry作为trans,让人想到《极乐之邦》里的海吉拉,对身体的描写,当然少不了对托卡尔丘克Flights的回顾,全书最后一句话如同废名所说过的: 人生梦幻不可以付之流水。(!)
