In 1993, I was 12 and saw Jurassic Park. I was so enthralled I read Jurassic Park and all the Michael Crichton books I could find. Crichton is probably who's canon I've read the most of.
I've read he wasn't a fan of writing 'The Lost World' and did not love the film adaptation. Outside of some initial work with Jurassic Park 3's story ideas, which he left early in the process, he never was involved with Jurassic Park again.
He died in 2008, seven years before Jurassic World came out. With JP:Rebirth being out do you think he would appreciate the direction of the franchise?
Lol, no, Michael Crichton was based af, he didn’t even like how JP3 turned out, much less JW4: JP7 (using star wars dark forces: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy naming conventions obviously lol)
He even debunked climate change at the height of its hysteria:

There used to be some good essays he wrote on the subject floating around but I can’t find any working links atm
State of Fear is a good book
It should be assigned reading in high school.
That book and Atlas Shrugged were the two that sent me spiraling down the path to become the far right extremist I am today.
So it's guaranteed that neither will ever be even acceptable reading in HS. much less assigned :/
Holy BASED
He was already one of my favorite writers, this makes him even more so. Truly a man of the people.
You should read the books he wrote under a pen name while he was in med school. And read the Hard Case Crime versions with the covers, not the new goyslop sanitized ones.
Check the archive of his website.
