Leslie A. Fiedler

metahuman n.	1978 L. A. Fiedler Freaks x. 264 Later writers have created for its descendants new names like ‘humanoid,’ ‘android,’ ‘robot,’ ‘cyborg,’ and ‘bionic man,’ projecting them into the future Mrs. Shelley invented without knowing it. And we who inhabit that future never tire of retelling her tale in print, in comic books, and on film. We have, moreover, gone further, imagining scientists who, unlike her doctor, deliberately make hideous metahumans, or—reversing the archetype—strive to eliminate all chance of their appearance by ‘biological engineering.’ But all that lay far ahead when Frankenstein appeared in 1818.
