  2. Currently #reading a #MichaelCrichton story. Half way into the book, feels like the plot has went 180. A newly introduced character expressed her frustration that she had no idea what was going on, the main character had no idea what was happening, I have no idea what is happening.

  3. I loved Jurassic Park movie back in 1993 but never read the book since I'm so into other genres, but now I'm considering to buy the book and read it before watch the movie again. Should I?

  11. do you ever just read #Foucault and slip into musings abt #MichaelCrichton's book #JurassicPark (1990) and #JordanPeele's film #Nope (2022) on the arrogance of disciplinary precision to shape docile bodies that're so obedient and entrenched in the expectation to gaze upon spectacle (of their own design) that it leads to their own destruction

    (would 1000% mention the trex and nope's monster are fem too)

  12. Michael Crichton's Dragon Teeth is an entertaining Wild West quest for dinosaur bones set amidst the war between US Army and Native Americans. Easy quick read, but lacks the depth of his famous books.

    My rating: ★★★☆☆

  13. ...we live in a culture of relentless, round-the-clock boosterism for science and technology. With each new discovery and invention, the virtues are always oversold, the drawbacks understated. Who can forget the freely mobile society of the automobile, the friendly atom, the paperless office, the impending crisis of too much leisure time, or the era of universal education ushered in by television? We now hear the same utopian claims about the Internet. But everyone knows science and technology are inevitably a mixed blessing.
    -- Michael Crichton (Science, March 1999)

  14. Hilo 🧵 3/4
    También el paso de #MichaelCrichton por la #televisión estuvo marcado por la creación de la exitosa y premiada serie:
    📺 'ER' #EmergencyRoom
    Estrenada en 1994 y emitida durante 15 temporadas.
    A España llegó en 1996, como 'Urgencias', cuando ya era todo un fenómeno popular a nivel global.

  15. 40 years ago, the first wave of established novelists lending their names to computer games occurred. #MichaelCrichton was an exception insofar that his involvement was not just a licencing deal. Before even being approached by the eventual publisher, he started designing #Amazon by himself, programmed scenes and logic himself and hired a programmer to translate his BASIC code into a more efficient language.
