In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles - micro-robots - has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self -reproducing. It Is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey. As fresh as today's headlines, Michael Crichton's most compelling novel yet tells the story of a mechanical plague and the desperate efforts of a handful of scientists to stop it. Drawing on up-to-the-minute scientific fact, Prey takes us into the emerging realms of nanotechnology and artificial distributed intelligence - in a story of breathtaking suspense. Prey is a novel you can't put down. Because time is running out.

This man really does not let up in this book. Quite a lot of thought went into it as the main character regularly explains this thoughts and scientific conjecture around what's happening and how it relates to nature, blurring the line between evolution in organic and inorganic creatures. When you start to catch onto what's going on throughout the novel, it hits you in the best way. It's an extremely satisfying, bite-sized cautionary tale that both gives you shivers and makes you think, and I absolutely love it.

Prey, the Nano-Problem
Prey is another great science-fiction thriller from the phenomenal Michael Crichton. Crichton rarely fails to capture the reader with realistic and relatable detail from Andromeda Strain to Jurassic Park, from Sphere to Next. Prey is no exception. In this novel Crichton challenges scientists with the ramifications of nano-technology as we follow an unemployed code-writer, in the Silicon Valley, back into work. Michael Crichton was never one to dissapoint and I recomend any of his books for a thorough read.
