One of the original books, eventually movie, was Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. This masterpiece written in 1818 set the bar high for an introspective examination of how technology is humanity's Pandora’s Box. The idea that we can attempt to create new life through technology will evolve from the crude creation of Frankenstein to the brilliance of artificial intelligence. The story of the "mad" scientist that Frankenstein represented back in 1818 aptly captured our imaginations and opened the door for questions like, what will be repercussions for opening the box of technology? The story also, for better or for worse, immediately attached the fear and anxiety that has come to symbolize humanities connection to machines.
