About this work & edition details

A breakthrough in recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA allows living prehistoric animals to be created for a theme park on a remote island. Before Jurassic Park opens to the public, invited visitors and scientists arrive to evaluate what its designers have built. When the park's controls fail, the engineered animals escape the systems meant to contain them. The group must survive the island while confronting the larger danger created by treating unpredictable living systems as products that can be completely controlled.
