Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is Michael Crichton's 1990 science fiction thriller about a billionaire's attempt to open a theme park populated by dinosaurs cloned from ancient DNA. During a preview visit, a small group of experts and children becomes stranded on the island after the park's systems fail. The novel examines the risks of genetic engineering, corporate overreach, and humanity's assumption that nature can be controlled. Its events also illustrate chaos theory through the park's unforeseen collapse.
