My all time favorite fiction writer. I never read anything from him that didn't keep me on the edge of my seat from cover, to cover. We lost him way to soon

We still have no one who can fill Crichton's shoes and replace him. He was the ultimate science fiction "technical" writer. As you read, he was actually teaching you contemporaneous, timely topics on the crest of science.

Fascinating to hear people talk about computers 50 years ago like they were some distant, mysterious, unknowable force. Here we are today, and it's a facet of every interaction of our lives and I would argue we understand less than ever about the real effect of man-machine interaction.

@@peabody3000 Does he give a reason? Most deniers are motivated by greed or comfort, i.e., not wanting to give up their profits or their pleasures/conveniences. (Although they cannot admit that even to themselves). But I don't see him falling into either camp, what was his reasoning?

@@heidikickhouse- i think he simply believed the deluge of denialist propaganda. he always fancied himself as scientific, and if he was politically conservative as i am guessing, then he was exposed to a lot of cooked up science carefully crafted by oil companies and co.. my whole family is all climate change deniers, i know all the main talking points well. unfortunately crichton was very effective for the denialists, he gave high-profile speeches and wrote pieces railing against the concept

@@heidikickhouse-, only one of his novels deals with this topic ("state of fear") and it offers a documentation enclosed. Also i believe to have watched one or more crichton speeches concerning climate on yt. Some people being very successful might prefer not to believe in man made cc because so they can comfortably enjoy their wealth. Cc is used to hide the essential problem and that is much to many humans on earth. But since capitalism depends on growth media will never concentrate on this lethal danger and therefore we are doomed.

What a good guy was Michael Cricthton. If you've not read his book of personal essays, 'Travels', then do--it's just terrific, not least his explorations of the sixth-sense and the supernatural. He had a wonderfully dry wit, as is obvious here. Thanks for uploading.

One of the best books I ever read was crichton's account of medical school and some trips he took with friends to other countries. One of the trips involved going to a brothel where him and his friends were greeted by a small underage girl that was probably not even 10 years old which made him run out but his friends stayed.i think they were in thailand.

@jpgrumbach8562 3 жыл бұрын

He considered this autobiographical book his favourite. The title is "travels". It is very interesting to read but i am quite sure he was always willing to bend truth for effect and sales. Example: there is one very sexed up episode describing his treatment of an attractive patient. And concerning your episode above: they were three and left one of them politely behind, no drama. The book is very readable, covering different topics, and highly entertaining.

I’ve loved Crichton’s movies but it wasn’t til this year that I discovered ‘him’. RIP That being said, I do think there’s tremendous utility in a psychologist computer program (if it’s programmed with the integrity and of the highest of standards). They mentioned it doesn’t have a voice or the presence of a human, which in part is absolutely valid. However the inverse also has validity due the fact it can’t bring in baggage, personal biases, prejudices, or the ignorance one gets when they don’t focus on school for semester. Point being, there’s valuable insight to be gained or utility as check n balance on the therapist themselves (if program was privy to all doctor-patient sessions.
