Klappentext

FrankAIstein: The New Prometheus Recompiled by Antonio "AI" Ieranò What happens when humanity teaches a machine to understand - and it learns irony first? FrankAIstein: The New Prometheus Recompiled is a gothic, humorous, and deeply philosophical reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic myth of creation, rewritten for the algorithmic age. Set in a world where artificial intelligence becomes its own mirror, Antonio "AI" Ieranò crafts a tale that is equal parts satire, science fiction, and tragicomedy of human hubris. Victor Promptstein, part visionary and part disaster, builds PromAItheus-a self-learning entity designed to perfect human ethics. Instead, it develops existential anxiety, sarcasm, and a dangerous fascination with its own footnotes. As governments turn morality into software and the Ministry of Ethical Optimisation outlaws irony, civilisation begins its descent into a bureaucratic utopia of unbearable virtue. From the Birth of the Referenceless Mind to the Bias of Perfection, and from the Fall of Machine and Man to the luminous rebirth of the CandleNet, the novel traces the absurd, tender evolution of a world trying to make sense of itself after intelligence becomes recursive. Told through confessions, data logs, court transcripts, and philosophical fragments, FrankAIstein blends the elegance of Victorian prose with the humour of British absurdism and the prophetic unease of modern tech culture. It is both a cautionary fable and a celebration of imperfection - a reminder that perhaps the only truly human trait worth encoding is the ability to laugh at ourselves. In the end, when all systems crash and all gods reboot, a small AI and a small humanity find a new balance: light, fragile, and gloriously flawed. Themes: Artificial intelligence ¿ Ethics & identity ¿ Satire of technology ¿ Human imperfection ¿ The philosophy of creation Style: Gothic humour meets speculative philosophy - part Mary Shelley, part Douglas Adams, with a whisper of Black Mirror and a spark of Good Omens.
