The Frankenstein Syndrome

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.

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.
