Crichton is best known, of course, for Jurassic Park, his novel about a scientist who clones dinosaurs from their fossilized DNA, with disastrous results. It may be the most effective showcase for Crichton's gifts as a novelist, but even setting that aside, its predictive power remains astonishing to this day. Just this week, Japanese scientists announced that they had successfully cloned mice from tissue that was frozen for 16 years. Can the resurrection of the woolly mammoth be far off?

...indie rock. “Ambient” is a way that an indie rock album should be, and whether its architects know it or not (I’d make the case that Deerhunter does), an exploration of ambient noise in a 2007 rock album is neither novel nor interesting. And yet “Cryptograms” was a critical success in independent circles—blogs, forums, crit-sites, etc.—in exactly the way that it needed to be.
