Yes. Up to a point, though you don"t find it alongside Heinlein, Verne, or Bradbury, the seminal Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley is in a sense a (Gothic) science-fiction novel on the artificial life theme- nearly always considered taboo. here"s one. Up to a point- and this was written much later than Frankenstein- Pinochhio ( lit, lit wooden boy) can be considered a juvenile-toned down adaptation of Frankenstein. The inventor ( Gepetto) roughly little Joe"s motives for creating the living puppet are not really examined- now if it was a female android- wow- the Churchmen would bang the gong to ( Full Stop!).
