Cited by Apple as one of the top iPad education apps for 2011, NYPL's free app Biblion: The Boundless Library once again breaks the boundaries of how we read, allowing us to experience rare collection materials and - now - engage each other in a new form of community creation. What makes a monster, or defines a human being? What is it like to live in the margins of society? Is technology inherently good or inherently bad? Nearly 200 years ago, in a rapidly-industrializing Great Britain, these were some of the questions that guided Mary Shelley as she wrote Frankenstein. They remain just as powerful and relevant today... and we show you why.
