Jurassic Park is a 1990 science fiction novel written by Michael Crichton. A cautionary tale about genetic engineering, it presents the collapse of an amusement park showcasing genetically re-created dinosaurs to illustrate the mathematical concept of chaos theory and its real-world implications. A sequel titled The Lost World, also written by Crichton, was published in 1995. In 1997, both novels were re-published as a single book titled Michael Crichton's Jurassic World.
In 1996 it was awarded the Secondary BILBY Award.

Un gran thriller, además de que los diálogos de Ian Malcom sobre la soberbia de las personas, la ciencia, el capitalismo y la teoría del caos son una verdadera joya y siguen estando muy vigentes hoy en día, aunque nuestros grandes avances hayan resultado en la creación de Inteligencias Artificiales y no clones de dinosaurio.
Sin duda me habría encantado leerlo antes de ver las películas.
I’ve loved Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg for as long as I can remember. I’ve hesitated to read the book, since I misunderstood it to be written after the film and not vice versa. That’s not the case though. About the book then: it’s fantastic. The whole seconds half you’re on needles, turning page after page. I like the style of Michael’s writing too. The movie and book differs in a few way, but story- and character wise. Hammond, which is quite likable in the movie, is what I imagine the Tech Bros of this decade when they’re in their seventies. Malcom is a bit much in the book, but becomes excellent in conjunction with the movie. I’m super happy I actually gave it a shot. My best read of this year, so far.
