On the other hand, I'd love to see a Man-Kzin War movie or series
But on the Gripping Hand, I'd pay big money to see The Mote In God's Eye on the Big Screen

"At least since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, authors have foreseen new technologies reshaping society"
Hahaha. That's SO cheeseball. And not even correct. Frankenstein didn't reshape anything in the book.

The lab where he was created in itself was as sci-fi as things got back then. There weren't machines of any sort connected to beds even in hospitals in the early 1800's. Machines CREATING life may not have happened yet but it all started with Frankenstein. Maybe not, but she was the first to popularize the idea. This was again, before computers and television, before everyone even had electricity.
Let alone all of the metaphors and social commentary that Frakenstein himself embodied.

Unless I'm vastly mistaken, no reanimated corpses or created monsters are busy replacing the human race.

Is Frankenstein directly responsible? No. No more than Star Trek is responsible for cell phones.
