Famous for the wrong books
I forgot to blog last week that Michael Crichton has died.
Most people probably know him for Jurassic Park, or for the older generation The Andromeda Strain
.
However, his first work that made an impression on me was The First Great Train Robbery, and I consider his best book Eaters of the Dead.
His ideas got progressively worse, I’m sorry to say.
Timeline is based on a flawed understanding of the Multiverse, and Prey
demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic evolutionary principles.
In spite of this, his books were always a good read.
