gothic literary work Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus by Shelley, was published in January 1818, whose story addresses topics such as “the scientific mora, the creation and destruction of life and the audacity of humanity in its relationship with God. Hence, the subtitle of the work: the protagonist tries to rival God in power, like a sort of modern Prometheus who snatches the sacred fire of life from divinity. Although Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, some argue that this should be considered the first true science fiction story.” (via Wikipedia).
