I read Andromeda Strain once and liked it, I read Jurasic Park before it was a movie and liked it, though the charactes seemed somehow familiar. Then I don't even remember what the book I read after that was, it was basically all the same characters doing differnet stuff with some Haiku thrown in for good measure, found it boring and never read any more Crichton. I have not read these books. I don't want to read these books.

The media is always going to be biased one way or the other. You will never get accurate news of 'just what happened' all you can hope for is 'my interpretation of what happened' and enough integrity to try to filter out the biases and prejudices that shape that oppinion. That is the absolute most you can hope for when you watch the news.

There are several studies out there that 'prove' global warming is a scam. Its December in Oklahoma and 75 degrees for the second year in a row. I don't need a lot of convincing. Crichton believing biased reports, and inaccurate results, and stupid people, does not make him a horrible person. It makes him stupid. I knew that way back when I read the book with the Haikus.

My oppinion: Life influences art, which affects society, which changes life, which changes art. Its a circle not a flow chart.
