You're Jurassic Park!
by Michael Crichton
You combine all the elements of a mad scientist, a brash philosopher, a humble researcher, and a money-hungry attracter of tourists. With all these features, you could build something monumental or get chased around by your own demons. Probably both, in fact. A movie based on your life would make millions, and spawn at least two sequels that wouldn't be very good. Be very careful around islands.

I blame James. Making me into a bad, bad book! bah!
Well now, if you leave out all of the chaos theory stuff (roughly 67% of the book) it's pretty good!
ReplyDeleteNot just the Chaos Theory bits. Lots of it were purely gunk. That place was designed to fail. OMG, a five year old could have planned it out better.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean that you don't have redundant systems with independent power? What do you mean you don't have fscking BFGs in every fscking closet WHEN YOU HAVE BIG MEAN HUNGRY MAN EATING DINOSAURS - Did I say big, mean, hungry ones? - on the island.
sheesh. stupid, stupid, stupid.
Unfortunately, I tried reading his stuff and its mostly garbage wrt science involved. It's strawmen built up to scare people without even an attempt at realism: it's more like he pulled out of a piece of glass and called it a diamond. Anyone who knows anything is underwhelmed.
