Reading Frankenstein--and Experimenting with Conversation

Still experimenting w/ our shared desire to have fewer "stand-alone" posts and "more conversation" in this on-line space--as well as w/ our stated intention to share conversation with Kim Surkan's Gender and Technology class @ MIT this semester. So: below you'll find three postings from the MIT class discussion on Shelley's novel Frankenstein. If possible, chose one of them to respond to this week. (But! if you really need to follow another idea, please feel free to do that instead!)
