Michael Crichton Film Series – Jurassic Park
This fall, join the Linda Hall Library for a retrospective film series of Michael Crichton movies. In his work, Crichton demonstrated a keen ability to anticipate new technological developments long before they became reality and predict how even seemingly beneficial breakthroughs in biotechnology or artificial intelligence could quickly spiral out of their creators’ control.
The fourth and final film in the series is Jurassic Park from 1993 based on Crichton’s 1990 novel of the same name.
