{"product_id":"9780692964170","title":"The Rightful Place of Science: Frankenstein","description":"Two hundred years after its publication, Mary Shelley's \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e continues to speak to modern concerns about science, technology, and society. The story of Victor Frankenstein and his creature has become a cultural touchstone through myriad theatrical renditions, movies, and other adaptations and allusions. But Shelley's original tale is far richer and more relevant to contemporary issues than the common interpretation of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e as a warning against scientific hubris.\u003cp\u003eThe authors of the essays in \u003ci\u003eThe Rightful Place of Science: Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e examine the roots and origins of Shelley's tragically flawed scientist and his benighted creature. They consider Frankenstein as a parable of creativity and responsibility that can help us better understand our current creative dilemmas. And they show how Shelley's text foreshadows future technological innovations, and the challenges we anticipate from emerging fields such as synthetic biology and artificial intelligence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bicentennial of this story of a scientist who failed to care for his creation provides an opportunityto explorecreativity and responsibility across literary, scientific, social, and cultural dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Consortium for Science, Policy, \u0026 Outcomes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49859124363504,"sku":"9780692964170","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692964170","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
