Frankenstein’s Shadow: A Prince Penman Exploration of Isolation and Technology

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

What if Mary Shelley's greatest monster isn't on the page—but in your pocket?

In Frankenstein's Shadow, Prince Penman masterfully bridges the gap between 19th-century Gothic horror and the existential dilemmas of our tech-driven society. Blending speculative non-fiction with the biting wit of Kurt Vonnegut and the dystopian urgency of Margaret Atwood, this book asks: Has humanity's obsession with innovation become our own modern Prometheus?

Explore:


- How AI ethics and Silicon Valley's 'move fast and break things' mantra echo Victor Frankenstein's reckless ambition.
- The paradox of digital age loneliness in a world of hyper-connection, where dating apps and social media leave us more isolated than ever.
- The rise of biohacking, CRISPR, and digital immortality—and what happens when we play God with humanity's blueprint.
- Social media's impact on mental health, identity, and the collapse of shared truth in algorithm-curated echo chambers.

With gripping anecdotes—from a TikTok influencer's breakdown to a bioengineer's moral crisis—Penman dissects our dystopian future while offering hope. Can we reclaim empathy in an age of screens? What does Frankenstein teach us about loving the monsters we create, from AI to our own curated selves?
