Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a literary event in English literature; written when Mary Shelley was only a teenager, the work is a Gothic novel written on Walpurgis Night, after a literary circle dared each other to make the spookiest ghost story. Her literary genius shines through, cementing Mary Shelley as one of the most important women in all of English literature.

Don't shit up the thread. Contribute by discussing Frankenstein or fuck off back to where you came from. And leave the question marks back on whatever subreddit you came from.

MAN FUCK YOU! OP or not, OP made a thread with no clear fucking goal of discussion, linking a public domain book that anyone browsing the LITERATURE BOARD OF 4CHAN.COM could easily find for themselves on YouTube or Wikipedia (let alone being retarded enough to link it on Amazon's spyware site).
Im sorry for being fucking confused as to what the point of this fucking thread is, jack ass go fuck yourself

No one is spying on you. You're not important.
>>
>>24887269
Depends what you're doing. Intelligence firms are using AI to scan the internet for negative comments about Israel, for example. Microsoft has a backdoor into your PC. Government agencies have been exposed for spying on citizens. So yes you should be paranoid, unfortunately. Think of how easy it would be to ruin someone's life completely with this kind of access, if it were politically advantageous to do so. Of course, it wouldn't happen to you if you weren't in a position of some power and influence, because then what is the point, you're nothing. But I envision shadowbanning of ordinary, 'unimportant' citizens to become an increasingly prevalent practice in the near future. You are expressing unfavourable, dissident opinions on the internet and so, mysteriously, job applications get rejected, you are completely ignored on dating apps, comments you leave on social media platforms disappear, etc. (Yes, there is an easy joke to be made there, let's see if you take the bait) Anyway, it's not too farfetched, really.

I didn't say anything controversial. If you'd prefer to live in a state of blissful naivete then I don't begrudge you that choice.
>>
>>24887313
Yes, you did. Prove shadow banning is real.
>>
>>24887317
I didn't say it was real, read the post again. I said that I envision it becoming a practice in the near future, and the language I used did imply that this is a prediction rather than a description of the current state of affairs.

Actually it was written by her husband, the great poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

I've read it for the first time earlier this year. Really good. I had in mind meme references like the It's alive scene or the stupid drooling monster, but what I encountered was a proto-incel creature. If I was mixed race I would relate 100% with the creature that only wants another abomination to share its disgrace with. I though it was a bit too long tho, specially the first murder or the honey moon. I had no idea about the theory that actually it was her husband who wrote it and I can't care less about it - I'll still use it in my female writers I actually like canon to cite in conversations so girls give me head.

She also wrote an early post-apocalyptic novel called The Last Man which goes on for far too long (and hope you know about Lord Byron and Greece it's weirdly important) but once the super plague hits it's pretty cool and creepy. Not sure I can whole-heartedly recommend it, but give it a try if you don't mind some real slow burns.
