And the remake

a crazy asshole, but also the first alternative present scifi and existential books I read. His presence will be felt for a long time I am sure.

Yeah, his apparent treatment of Michael Crowley is pretty absurd. Character assassination through a NY Times bestselling page-turner is definitely a low blow, to hilariously awful depths.

Plus the pseudo-scientific criticism of the existence of global warming.

Andromeda Strain and Westworld are flipping fantastic as Hollywood movies go, though.

as is the original jurassic park. that scene where the raptor comes through the wall next to the switch board gets me every time.

I liked how in his books it was always human failure rather than technological failure that was the root of the issue. every single time.
