Medicine has suffered the full effects of the scientific outpouring of information. ... As a stopgap measure, medical schools have kept the total number of years constant, but have lengthened the per-week teaching load. Thus medical students at Harvard attend twice as many hours of classes per week as law or business students. Of necessity, this makes medical education a very passive business and deprives the student of the single most important thing he desperately needs to learn while at school -- how to initiate the educational process for himself, later on, when he is a practitioner.
-- Michael Crichton (Five Patients, 1970) -
I recently read Micro by Richard Preston and Michael Crichton. This is one of those posthumous books of his. This one is complete garbage. It doesn't sound like Crichton, it is very poorly written, and just bad.
From what I understand, this was written based on some notes Crichton wrote on napkins or something and Preston wrote a book based on what little info he had. But to put Crichton's name on this book is a disservice to his legacy.

MIST0426/ATONALOSPREY-MICHAEL_CRIGHTON-JURASSIC_PARK
Mistigram: @atonalosprey was so preoccupied with whether or not he could render #ChipKidd’s iconic cover art design to Michael Crichton’s 1990 bestseller #JurassicPark as #teletext #ASCIIart… he didn’t stop to think if he should. This screen was included in last month’s books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

And here’s another bit from Michael Crichton’s ‘Disclosure’ (which he says is based on a true story), 1st published in 1994, but still feels contemporary in lots of areas; this is part of a longer speech:
“Third, I think that we have an obligation to— a social obligation, if you will— to keep high-paying skilled jobs in the U.S. Other countries don’t export good jobs. Why should we? Each of our offshore manufacturing decisions has been made for a specific reason, and, personally, I hope we start to move them back here. Because there are many hidden costs in offshore fabrication. … we need manufacturing. If there’s anything that the last twenty years has shown us, it’s that design and manufacturing are all one process. You start splitting off the design engineers from the manufacturing guys and you’ll end up with bad design. You’ll end up with General Motors.”#reading #MichaelCrichton #Disclosure #quotes #manufacturing #design #SocialObligation #offshoring #reconnectingConsequencesToCauses

Michael Crichton’s ‘Disclosure’ (which he says is based on a true story), 1st published in 1994, but still feels contemporary in lots of areas. Enjoyed the complicated plot & the product-based manufacturing problem solving. And then there was this:
“As for Meredith, her behaviour didn’t surprise him at all. For years, Sanders had fought the B-school mentality that she exemplified. After watching these graduates come and go, Sanders had finally concluded that there was a fundamental flaw in their education. They had been trained to believe that they were equipped to manage anything. But there was no such thing as general managerial skills and tools. In the end, there were only specific problems, involving specific industries and specific workers. To apply general tools to specific problems was to fail. You needed to know the market, you needed to know the customers, you needed to know the limits of manufacturing and the limits of your own creative people. None of that was obvious.”#reading #MichaelCrichton #problemSolving #Disclosure #BSchoolMentality #education #fundamentalFlaw #reconnectingConsequencesToCauses

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.

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?

"Jurassic World Rebirth" is the first in the franchise (since the first, of course) to feature a completely new cast, but Scarlett Johansson spoke about why the connection to the franchise's roots is stronger than ever.

Se me había pasado comentar que ya leí completo el libro de Jurassic Park, y aunque muy recomendable y todo, había algo que me estaba haciendo mucho ruido a medida que leía, y era que Crichton pese a ser un señor ya curtido en escribir libros antes de este, su escritura tenía un regusto particular a puerilidad, como si fuera el primer libro de un novato, y viendo que en tiempo récord esta obra en particular se adaptó 3 años después en una película con miras a ser una superfranquicia, algo me dijo que esto ya lo había visto antes y me puse a investigar un poco.
Resulta que Crichton fue el equivalente a JK Rowling en los 90', haciendo un feo aporte al tema de calentamiento global con un tipo de activismo tibio y más que todo saboteador, en que resumiendo el mame su postura iba en plan "El calentamiento global si es real pero los científicos son unos exagerados y no es pa' tanto, sígueme a mi que yo si le sé a la ciencia" que te hacía acordar a Frank Cuesta despotricando a los académicos que le criticaban sus pendejadas.
Cabe decir que este libro no es donde desata toda esta papirotada pseudocientífica, teniendo en cambio algunos argumentos interesantes y relevantes sobre la ciencia y el problema del poder heredado de la misma a empresarios y gente con poder. Pero no quita que el tipo manejaba en su vida un resentimiento muy rarito hacia la ciencia y los científicos en especial.

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

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: ★★★☆☆

...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) -
This reads like the first few chapters of a #MichaelCrichton novel. Wild.
I really wish we (speaking as a US citizen here) had more qualified decision-makers in our government.
Edit - Originally posted this with a link to #TheGuardian, my usual go-to paper. Swapping the post to another source, as I've been informed The Guardian's writers are on strike for unrelated reasons. That said (if you'd like) you can find more info there as well.
