BOOKS OF THE WORLD | The Frankenstein Syndrome

Hello, how are you? ,Welcome to this podcast , from the Canary Islands for those who read with their soul, when it's...

Today I open a book that isn't on any shelf: the one that is written with each page that transforms us. I will travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And every story is a cultural compass.

The Frankenstein Syndrome is a concept that refers to the fear that the very forces used by humankind to control nature will turn against us, with potentially destructive consequences.

Inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818), this syndrome has been used to describe both an individual psychological phenomenon and a widespread social concern about the unchecked development of science and technology.

I've wondered if the attacks on progressist politicians and activists are due to this syndrome or simply to a loss of power.

If this literary journey inspired you, recommend it. And if you have a book that changed your life, tell me about it. Until the next episode!
