Hemezortzi urte zituen Mary Shelleyk Frankenstein idatzi zuenean. Hor sortu zuen azken mito modernoetako bat, etorkizun bikaina izango zuena, eta zinemari esker gaur egun ere ondo bizirik dirauena. Asko dira zinema mutuaren garaitik hasita gaur arte egin diren bertsioak, batzuk testuari atxikiagoak beste batzuk baino.

Gaur egun, ez da zorakeria esatea gutxik irakurri eta ia denok ikusia dugun istorio bat dela Frankenstein, aspaldi idatzia izan arren zuzen-zuzenean lotzen zaiena zientziaren aurrerapenak eta haren ondorioek gure garaian pizten dituzten eztabaida sutsuei.

Gaurko ikuspegitik, dena dela, garbi dago munstro bat sortu zuen doktore burubero samar baten istorioa baino gehixeago dela Frankenstein. Baina “gehixeago” horretara hurbildu nahi duenak liburura jo beharko du nahitaez. Mary Shelley, feminismoaren aitzindari Mary Wollstonecraft-en alaba, “irakurleari ilea lazteko moduko” zerbait idaztera jarri zenean, izu-istorio zoragarriaz gain, arrazoiaz eta hizkuntzaz bere itsuskeria gainditu nahi duen izaki aldrebes baina xalo eta maitagarriaren istorioa sortu zuen.

I wasn't expecting to like this book anywhere near as much as I ended up doing! The story as told in the book is much more interesting than the limited image of it that's got in to popular culture, and this was my first encounter with the whole thing. It's so much more about deeply flawed Victor Frankenstein (TLDR: our reading group kept using the term "main character syndrome") than about the mad science process. And while the creature is far from likeable, his portrayal has genuine pathos, even though most of what we hear about him is secondhand through the recounting of someone who hates him.

There are several impressively strong resonances to the modern world, between the general lack of ethics in tech and the current wave of "AI" hype. And of course big self-centred men who think that extreme success in one sphere gives them licence to …
