Frankenstein

Blurb from Amazon.com

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein tells the chilling tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but hubristic scientist who creates a "sentient being" from assembled body parts. Horrified by his creation, Victor abandons it, leading the creature to a path of loneliness, resentment, and ultimately, violence. The novel explores profound themes of scientific responsibility, the nature of humanity, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. 

This story remains relevant as it prompts us to consider the ethical implications of technological advancements, particularly in fields of AI and genetic engineering. It serves as a cautionary tale about the potential for scientific progress to outpace our moral understanding, and the importance of empathy and compassion in a rapidly evolving world.
