About this book

About Michael Crichton
Michael Crichton was an American author, physician, and filmmaker whose techno-thrillers redefined the genre by grounding speculative, often catastrophic scenarios in rigorous scientific research, most famously in Jurassic Park, which imagined the genetic resurrection of dinosaurs and became a global cultural phenomenon after Steven Spielberg's 1993 film adaptation.
