Michael Crichton died earlier this month aged justed 66 years. Like me, Art Raiche is a fan of the author and climate sceptic and sent me this note:
“As most of you know, Robyn Williams who runs the science show on the ABC [in Australia] is a committed warmer. So, I was surprising to hear him do a show on Michael Crichton, albeit a funny and insightful talk on science and the media. He did admit that Crichton was a sceptic, quite a revelation for those of you who know Williams. The url below will give you access to a funny and thought-provoking talk.
I had not previously heard Crichton speak. The humorous and sceptical intelligence of the man is just terrific.

I have saved the best for last: States of Fear – complexity. These are vintage Crichton, really worth the investment of an afternoon
