never take seriously doctors, in liberal societies or not.

he also wrote The Terminal Man, which was basically him creaming his pants over computers making medial research faster, and also predicting that doctors trying to map the brain would go on to try to get removing or tampering with portions of the brain normalized as a standard procedure, iirc

i'm reading Jurassic Park right now and it seems like the book is just a screenplay that has been revised to become a novel, mostly because it feels like I might as well be watching a movie. Am I doing it wrong or is JP actually not that good?

>>9266385
What's wrong with that?

>>9266388
The edited screenplay part is not what is unenjoyable, it's the fact that it feels like even important scenes are being explained at base level. Not just leaving interpretation to the audience, but not being descriptive enough, which makes me feel like I might as well be watching a movie. For example, the intensity of the dactyl scene in the movie is nonexistent in the book. Again, I may just be doing it wrong

>>9266394
Dactyl scene in the movie? What movie are you talking about exactly?

>get email from B&N about "new" Crichton book this morning

Hmm... Really fired my synapses.

>history fiction

oh I am laffin

>>9266921
it's fiction and it has a historical setting. define history fiction for me, smartass.

>>9266934
Benny Hill adventures in an alternate universe with cliche characters in medieval France isnt historical fiction, it's bottom of the barrel genre trash. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

>>9266385
You are experiencing what most Crichton readers, that doesn't prevent you from enjoying Crichton of course.

Maybe try Next, is more of a literary work than most Crichton's books.

>the global warming industry
Explain please. What is the global warming industry?

>>9267207
Maybe he is referring to the Koch brothers, the oil industry and possibly all the big food industries like the high methane contaminators.

>>9267207
Well the liberals want to sell solar panels and big oil gets in the way of that lucrative industry. Climate scientists and green tech startups are using their massive resources and lobbying power to put down lil ol' oil, yasee.

>>9267253
t. shill

>>9267252
Crichton's book was trying to disprove global warming, famerino. Takes 10 seconds to google.

>>9267260
Which one famalam?

>>9267264
State of Fear. Again, please use google next time.

>>9267252
>big food industries like the high methane contaminators.
I don't know what that means... What does food have to do with global warming, like actual crops? And methane contaminators, and in drilling and methane contamination of water sources?
>>9267253
Interesting. Its kind of funny that something like alternative energy which is touted as being "green and good" and has no adverse effects (as far as I'm aware) would be gunning for a profit. Its to be expected, but I hadn't thought about it.
A strange duality.

Feedlots in particular are known to create high concentrations of methane, and all the waste from cattle and bovine indeed goes somewhere. Remember the ozone hole? Is all related.
