The failure of Jurassic Park was a labor issue! Even before Nedry sabotaged the systems, builders and maintenance workers were getting maimed and killed by dinosaurs. It wasn’t science run amok it was literally just the same industrialist bullshit.

If you read Michael Crichton’s other techno-thrillers – Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, Congo – you pick up how he builds plots by smashing scientific novelties up with other of-the-age trends in society, and that the 1990 novel Jurassic Park is really genetic engineering X the rise of theme parks X “world apart” all-inclusive resorts on Caribbean islands developed by American money.

The book opens before the park is complete or the main characters are introduced with a local laborer being killed by a raptor in essentially a construction accident.
