Overview"Inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, this foundational work of science fiction was also written by an imaginative young woman and published in the early 19th century. This tale, however, has a futuristic setting of 2126 and its ""monster,"" an intelligent mummy, serves as a friend and counselor to mankind. The author's intriguingly prescient visions of social and technological advances include a form of the internet." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jane LoudonPublisher: Dover Publications Inc.
