Jurassic Park Michael

A brutal struggle in the cutthroat computer industry…A shattering psychological game of cat and mouse…A shocking accusation that threatens to derail a brilliant career…The are the electrifying elements of the new novel by the author of Rising Sun and Jurassic Park. It is Michael Crichton at his galvanizing best…

Fishermen separate a young orca whale (Willy) from his parents and he ends up in a fish bowl at a marina. Meanwhile, a street kid runs afoul of the law and gets caught vandalising the marina, but his social worker gets him off the hook (so to speak) provided he cleans up his mess at the marina. While there, he befriends the whale and teaches him tricks, something the trainer hasn't been able to do. But when Willy is a dud in front of the audience, the marina owner plans some bad things, and the boy and his friends must try to free Willy.

Westworld is an incredibly influential early film from sci-fi author and filmmaker Michael Crichton. Films as diverse as Halloween, The Terminator and Crichton’s own Jurassic Park owe visual and plot elements to the film (the unstoppable opponent who seems to die and comes back again and again after each time he’s “stopped”, the robotic killer’s POV shots, and the theme park built with SCIENCE! that goes terribly wrong, respectively). The film doesn’t quite fit into the category it’s often lumped into-the early 1970s dystopian sci-fi films cycle that included films like Soylent Green and Rollerball. Westworld’‘s world building is limited to the speculation needed for the central conceit: what if the trend in amusement park rides towards audio-animatronic figures and immersive environments pioneered by Walt Disney led to a theme park that placed guests in “perfect” replicas of past times, complete with robot doubles nearly identical to humans?
