What happens when innovation outpaces morality? In Frankenstein: A Modern Retelling, Prince Penman revives Mary Shelley's timeless masterpiece, weaving a chilling narrative that explores the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence, CRISPR gene editing, and Silicon Valley's unchecked ambition.

In a world where technology reshapes humanity, we meet visionaries, scientists, and corporate leaders—each grappling with the consequences of their creations. Autonomous weapons spark unintended wars, deepfake technology erodes truth, and genetic engineering redefines life itself. But when the pursuit of progress ignores its ethical cost, who is truly responsible?

Blending gothic horror with speculative realism, this novel invites readers to confront urgent questions: Can AI develop a conscience? Should humans alter their DNA? Is innovation a gift or a curse?

Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Margaret Atwood, and Yuval Noah Harari, Frankenstein: A Modern Retelling is more than a cautionary tale—it's a gripping journey into the future we are creating.

Includes:

  • Discussion Questions for book clubs and classrooms.
  • Further Reading on bioethics, responsible tech, and ethical innovation.
