Publisher's Summary
Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2019
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson.
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 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 19-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about creating a nonbiological 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.

Awful narration
The female narrator has a soothing, beautiful voice. I could listen to her forever. The first male narrator who is playing Rye Shelley is almost unbearable to listen to. When speaking normally, he’s fine but the American accent is truly awful. It almost makes me want to give up on the book completely.

Meander through the wise, poetic and interesting
An easy journey through character and ideas; philosophy and poetry; technology, gender and what it means to be human. Beautifully written.

Just one big slab of recorded text. Ugh
Why is this audiobook not divided into chapters? So unwieldy. This is exactly why I've never bought the audio versions of kindles, which are cheaper. Please don't go down this path, Audible!
