Mary Shelley's The Go Human, number one published around 1826, is often overshadowed by one of Shelley's earliest works, Frankenstein, and following has been largely ignored per reading public. This is by the select few believed to become a nifty loss when these are someway when great a act when its illustrious & very much filmed & parodied predecessor. A Endure Human was written in the period below her married man Percy Bysshe Shelley's death.

Placed in the twenty-number one century, it was influential on the development of English science fiction, particularly on H.G. Wells (see The Time Machine, The Island of Dr Moreau, and The Invisible Man), Olaf Stapledon and, less obviously, Arthur C. Clarke, particularly ''Childhood's End.'' Central to the book's philosophical approach is a rejection of the romanticism of Lord Byron, whom she knew well, and her late husband. It blends sharp political observation, a complex tale of doomed love, & visible portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron into its subtle, melancholy mix.

Around 2002, DC Comics began publishing a comic book entitled Y: The Last Man, which is loosely based on a construct created by Mary Shelley.
