In this episode, I turn to the Romantics as guides for a world coming apart, viewing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a protest against a mechanistic worldview that devalues feeling. Some questions that emerge from this journey are: What do we do when technology outpaces our moral framework? Just because we're able to do something, should we?
