Mary Shelley and The Book \n\n

Volcanoes and the year with no summer. Women writing books. Philosophers and children of philosophers.

\n\n Trendsetting \n\n

The movie vs the book. The beginning of scifi. The ways that each broke boundaries in their own ways.

\n\n Scary \n\n

Was it scary at the time? The movie intro. Everything that\u2019s clich\xe9 now was new once.

\n\n Playing God \n\n

Science, evil science, and playing god. The ethics of mad science.

\n\n Science Horror \n\n

How to take the cutting edge and make it a horror story. Electricity. X-rays. Quantum stuff. Nano bio tech now? Deepak Chopra is full of crap.
