Trailer: Frankenstein trailer long

from A Book - A Place: Geneva Hosted by Robin Pomeroy

Everyone knows something about Frankenstein, the archetype horror movie monster. But what about the birth of the story, which is now seen as perhaps the first horror novel, the first work of what would become known as science fiction, and, for today’s readers, still one of the most thought provoking tales about artificial intelligence? As we’ll hear, Frankenstein was born, not in a mad scientist’s laboratory, but in a genteel villa on the outskirts of genteel Geneva.
