Show notes

Modern science spread out from early satirical novels first to the gothic horror of the nineteenth century. This is the genre where the first real sci-fi novel appears. Yet it was still cloaked in supernatural themes, not quite come into its own as a genre. Book recommendation: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
