Prey by Michael Crichton Book Review
Prey is the latest tech thriller from legend Michael Crichton.
Prey follows, in first person, the exploits of scientist Jack Forman, an unemployed software engineer. Forman suspects foul
play when his wife, the vice-president of Xymos Corporation starts acting strangely. They ask for Jack's help as they've lost control of some of the
nano-particle swarms that they were working on and they need him to help bring them under control.
Without giving to much of the plot away, Jack and some other scientists, end up trapped at the research labs in the middle of the Nevada desert. They are
the "prey" of a swarm of malicious nanobots that are growing ever smarter.
As well as a can't-put-down thriller it also explores the potential and hazards of nanotechnology; the fashioning of robots at the molecular level.
This is Michael Crichton at his very best. As always, he's really done the research, and it shows.
