Well known for writing “Jurassic Park” almost 2 decades ago, Crichton set an example for film makers to bring forth movies with characters of primitive age and sci-fi drama. With a unique style of writing in science and technological backdrops, he leaves the readers dumbfound with another exemplary piece of work- Prey.
PREY is a quick read and the story itself moves at a reasonably fast pace. It is a typical Crichton with complex science mixed with morality issues.
Imaginative and inventive, Crichton’s efforts to make a research to write Prey, reflected the threshold of Nanotech scientists progress. Prey has an easy language and good flow of story. The characters support the story well and take you though highs and lows of a related threat.
Crichton sweeps through the story, narrating the blessings of Science and Software programming. Simultaneously, he tells about the repercussions of wrong experiments and of course, wrong intentions. Prey is a delight to read about the AI developments while you can imagine characters from Evolution or Species right in front of your eyes.
