Jurassic Park is a 1990 science fiction novel written by
Michael Crichton. Often considered a cautionary tale on unconsidered biological
tinkering in the same spirit as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, it uses the
mathematical concept of chaos theory and its philosophical implications to
explain the collapse of an amusement park showcasing genetically recreated
dinosaurs. In 1993, Steven Spielberg adapted the book into the blockbuster film
Jurassic Park, which won 3 Oscars, 19 other awards, and 15 nominations.
In this book John Hammond, the
president of Bio Technology decides that he wants to make dinosaurs by using
new technology to reconstruct their DNA. The park is set to open in one year
and he wants to make sure that the park is ready for the visitors. He invites
several people to the island, one of which is Ian Malcolm who believes that the
park is doomed to fail due to his chaos theory. Everything seems to be going
smoothly when suddenly the power goes out.
Nedry the technical adviser tries to steal the embryos of
the dinosaurs and sell them to another company but he is stopped by some of the
dinosaurs due to his poor sense of direction. The other park employees try to
figure how to get the power back on but without Nedrys help it is very
difficult.
