Book Reviews of Prey
Book Review: "Prey" is Not Usual Reading Fare
Summary: 3 Stars
Michael Crichton's "Prey" is not your usual summer time reading fare. It's like a tossed salad of fact and fiction but you might not like all the ingredients. The language of some of the characters (e.g., "Charlie") can get vulgar with the swearing and cussing. If you are sensitive about this, you could probably skip over Charlie's comments without too much loss in the story! However, Michael Crichton creates a fictionialized story with current "hot" trends or topics such as Nanotechnology and the computer programming technique called "Genetic Programming." So too, this story involves swarms of nanoparticles that coordinate their movements based on predetor/prey dynamics. This book (hardcover version) has references in the back of the book for further study about a subject matter that should be of concern for public discourse and debate related to Biotechnology and Bioethics.
