Did you know? One of the earliest works of literature depicting artificial life was the 1817 short story “The Modern Prometheus” written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The story features an unnamed college student creating a monster out of human corpses. Though often overlooked compared to the latter works of Jules Verne and H.G. Welles, some recent scholars point to this story as one of the earliest written examples of science fiction. Its influence can be felt on numerous works of science fiction and horror, such as the 1931 film Reanimator (dir. Robert Florey) and the 2014 film Ex Machina (dir. Alex Garland). Mary Shelley herself, despite losing her husband when she was only 24 years old, was survived by three of her four children: William Shelley, Clara Shelley, and Sir Percy Florence Shelley.
