Frankenstein

‘You are my creator, but I am your master; – obey!’, the creature’s chilling words to Victor Frankenstein have never had more relevance than now in this fast moving, unrestrained technological and digital age. Frankenstein’s wild ambition and reckless disregard for the natural process brings personal misery and total destruction to his community. This Reading Classics edition of Frankenstein is an opportunity to return to the text of Mary Shelley’s visionary tale of some 200 years which has been consistently misrepresented in popular culture for much too long.
