Aldiss's hero is Texan Joe Bodenland, who, in a variation on H.G. Wells' Time Machine, adventurously drives his car smack into the flux and arrives in 1816 at the edge of Lake Geneva. Joe stumbles upon a villa containing Byron, Shelley and Mary Shelley, who is writing Frankenstein. His subsequent relationship with Mary is dominated by the presence of Dr. Frankenstein and friends, who are quite as "real" as Mary, their creator. Joe comes to see Frankenstein's pursuit of pure scientific truth without social responsibility as the root of modern technological society, where "the head...
