9 Cómo será el futuro que las mujeres no están decidiendo?

«Un viaje en el tiempo divertid simo y agudo con Frankenstein alter egos actuales sumergidos en el mundo de la inteligencia artificial, la criogenia y los robots sexuales. (Advertencia: el Byron moderno no sale bien parado.) -Margaret Atwood

En una Inglaterra azotada por el Brexit, el joven médico transgénero Ry Shelley se enamora, en contra de su voluntad, del profesor Victor Stein, que encabeza el debate público sobre inteligencia artificial. Mientras tanto, Ron Lord, recién divorciado e instalado con su madre, se dispone a hacerse de oro lanzando una nueva generación de muñecas sexuales para hombres solitarios de todo el mundo. Al otro lado del Atlántico, en Phoenix, Arizona, una instalación de criogenia alberga docenas de cuerpos de hombres y mujeres médica y legalmente muertos, que aguardan a que se les devuelva a la vida.

El tiempo de la raza humana se acaba. Qué ocurrirá cuando el Homo Sapiens no esté ya en la cima de la cadena evolutiva, cuando podamos delegar nuestra mente? Y qué sucederá con las mujeres, que no están participando en el diseño y la programación del futuro? Jeanette Winterson ha meditado sobre estas preguntas y también sobre Mary Shelley y su profético Frankenstein. «Lírica, deliciosamente obscena y absurda ( New Scientist), «inteligente, imaginativa y muy divertida (The Times), esta es una novela de amor. Una novela de sexo en la que incluso una robot descubre el feminismo radical. Una reflexión sobre sobre qué es y qué no es el ser humano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On the list of the Best 2019 Fiction Books of Publishers Weekly

From 'one of the most gifted writers working today' (New York Times) comes an audacious new novel about the bodies we live in and the bodies we desire.

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 cryonics 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 realize. Funny and furious, bold and clear-sighted, Frankissstein is a love story about life itself.
