Un magnate multimillonario construye una reserva biológica y parque de atracciones en una isla cerca de Costa Rica. La misma cuenta con verdaderos dinosaurios, creados a través de la ingeniería genética. Para avalar la fiabilidad del Parque Jurásico y tranquilizar a sus inversores, se invita a un grupo de personas entre los que se encuentran un paleontólogo, una paleobotánica y un matemático experto en la Teoría del caos a visitar la isla.
Durante el transcurso de la visita y pesar de los modernos sistemas de seguridad, el azar y las circunstancias, entre otros detonantes también analizados por dicha teoría matemática, se mezclan para desencadenar la pérdida de control del parque, quedando los visitantes a merced de esta naturaleza anacrónica y los dinosaurios que lo habitan.

Juntos, todos ellos descubrirán, básicamente, que no se puede controlar a la vida (y, por lo tanto, a los dinosaurios del parque) y que, como enuncia el eslogan de la obra personificado en el personaje del matemático Ian Malcom: «la vida se abre camino» irremediablemente.

Work Description

Jurassic Park is a 1990 science fiction novel written by Michael Crichton. A cautionary tale about genetic engineering, it presents the collapse of an amusement park showcasing genetically re-created dinosaurs to illustrate the mathematical concept of chaos theory and its real-world implications. A sequel titled The Lost World, also written by Crichton, was published in 1995. In 1997, both novels were re-published as a single book titled Michael Crichton's Jurassic World. In 1996 it was awarded the Secondary BILBY Award.

Also contained in:

Michael Crichton's Jurassic World

Excerpts

The tropical rain fell in drenching sheets, hammering the corrugated roof of the clinic building, roaring down the metal gutters, splashing on the ground in a torrent.
