Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Generally, in fiction, you don't footnote and have appendix. His book starts out " This is a work of fiction. Characters, corporations, institutions, and organizations in this novel are the product of the author's imagination, or, if real, are used fictitiously without any intent to describe their actual conduct. However, references to real people, institutions, and organizations that are documented in footnotes are accurate. Footnotes are real. " The problem with Crichton is that he makes statements as fact and in a paragraph where he makes his fictious statements, he will include a sentence that he footnotes. The implication to the average reader is that the paragraph or page of chapter is fact, not fiction. He cherry picks his footnotes and, in some cases, uses old information or information from sources that have been discredited. He ends his book with an " Author's Message " which he begins by telling us he spent 3 years reading environmental texts " I have had an opportunity to look at a lot of date, and to consider many points of view. . . I conclude: " By implication he has become expert. One of his oft repeated conclusions is " Nobody knows, " " Nobody knows, " he " suspects . . . the atmospheric components will be minor. " One of his " suspects " is ludicrous as it clearly contradicts one of his repeated statements throughout the book (cutting down trees is the cause of everything and we have killed most of the wilderness and state parks by mismanagement) " I suspect the people of 2100 will be much richer than we are, consume more energy, have a smaller global population, and enjoy more wilderness than we have today. I don't think we have to worry about it. " Lucicrous in that once a wilderness is destroyed it does not return. Particularly if part of the destruction is by logging. Tree farms may reappear but a " wilderness " never does. His last comment in the Author's Message is " Everybody has an agenda. Except me. " Crichton suffers from Pinnochio Syndrome.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well there are always other points of view. Do you hear a lot in America about the view that there is no global warming? It's hardly mentioned here at all. What are Crichton's other books like then - are they all alternative political comment or fiction.
