The dinosaur attacks are genuinely frightening; chaos theory as an inescapable limit on human ambition
What this book is about
Billionaire John Hammond has used genetic engineering to create a theme park populated with living dinosaurs on a Costa Rican island. When a team of consultants arrives for a preview inspection, the park's safety systems fail and the dinosaurs escape. Michael Crichton's thriller is a cautionary tale about hubris, technology, and chaos theory — a page-turner that also functions as a serious meditation on the limits of human control over natural systems.
