About this audiobook
It’s alive... and it’s quiet quitting.
Mary Shelley’s classic gets a brutal, laugh-out-loud update for the late-stage capitalism era in Frank and Stein: A Modern Prometheus.
Dr. Victor Stein, a stressed bio-architect at a sinister tech conglomerate, uses CRISPR and AI to engineer the ultimate American worker drone—a relentless sigma male designed to grind 100-hour weeks.
Instead, he creates Mr. Frank.
Corrupted by training data full of Reddit threads and sports radio, Frank is an eight-foot-tall, chronically depressed slacker. Biologically incapable of finishing a Jira ticket, he spends his days trapping coworkers in existential conversations and obsessing over his negative aura. When HR puts Frank on a PIP and fires him, Stein assumes his failed experiment will just assimilate into the gig economy.
He’s dead wrong.
A very short, razor-sharp satire of Silicon Valley hustle culture, corporate burnout, and Gen Z brainrot.
