  • Between Technophobia and Futuristic Dreams. Visions of the Possible Technological Development in Black Mirror and Westworld Series
    Agnieszka Kiejziewicz Between technophobia and futuristic dreams. Visions of the possible technological development in Black Mirror and Westworld series Jagiellonian University Introduction The dualism in perceiving the technology on the Western ground, not only as a blessing connected with the rapid development of the civilization but also as a possible reason for the future fall of the humanity, can be dated back to the literary works such as Frankenstein (1818) by Marry Shelley, dystopian Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)1 or Fritz Lang’s filmMetropolis (1927). However, it was no sooner than in the late 1950s when the discourse about the influence of technology on the society appeared in numerous forms of art. The writers such as William Burroughs (1914–1997)2, Phillip K. Dick (1928–1982)3 or the techno-prophet Marshall McLuhan (1918–1980)4 observed that to extend their perception, sensations and abilities, people cling to technology represented by various devices, what brings the humanity closer to the apocalypse the overused technology is to cause. The inspiration of the findings provided by the theorists in 1 See: Bloom, Harold, ed. Aldous Huxley. New York: Bloom’s Literary Criticism, 2010. 2 See: Hibbard, Allen. Conversations with William S.

  • Small Wonder That Said, the Book Lacks Some of the Elements That Made Crichton’S Best Works Soar
    COMMENT BOOKS & ARTS if you don’t want to know. Crichton miniaturizes them. Micro is the 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids re-imagined as a dark, edge-of-the-seat technological thriller. The shrinking is accomplished by the powers of magnetic tensor fields, whatever those are. Even the GETTY BY J. EXLEY/CONTOUR characters, post-miniaturization, can’t make sense of it: did their atoms shrink, too? How did it work? But let that go. Give Crichton and Preston their leap. Now you are experiencing the micro-universe first-hand. The result is scary and fun — a wild romp through the Hawaiian hinterland with both man and insect on your tail. The authors give us a potpourri of facts about chemical ecology, as well as useful hints for surviving when small (katydid ‘meat’ tastes like sushi). To their credit, Crichton and Preston try to keep the science as close to truth as fiction will allow. Our heroes find everything from biomechanics to wind resistance dramati- cally modified, giving them, for example, ant-like super-strength, and rendering them invulnerable to long falls. This gives our protagonists a chance against predators Micro is the last of the posthumous publications from Michael Crichton, pictured here in 1993. such as insects and birds, with their terri- fying arsenals of physical and chemical FICTION weapons. It is quite an adventure, pitting the mini-grads against vicious ants and a mynah bird. There is even a life-or-death fight with a bat. Small wonder That said, the book lacks some of the elements that made Crichton’s best works soar.

  • Book Review Micro Michael Crichton and Richard Preston Harper Collins
    3 Genomics, Society and Policy 2012, Vol.8 No.2 pp.38-40 Book Review Micro Michael Crichton and Richard Preston Harper Collins 2011/12 HUB ZWART1 Although he died in 2008, prolific science novelist Michael Crichton – acting as a ‘ghost-writer’, so to speak – continues to add new titles to his oeuvre. Notwithstanding the death of the author, his novel-producing machinery refuses to come to a full stop, - although in this case Richard Preston (a science novelist in his own right, author of, among others, The Hot Zone, on viral infections) was recruited to finish the book. MICRO – a title that almost reads like the acronym of the author’s name - has all the ingredients of the standard Michael Crichton formula: 1. A commercial high-tech firm (called Nanigen Micro-technologies) set up on a faraway tropical island (Hawaii) by a visionary but criminal entrepreneurial scientist (Vincent Drake); 2. His lover, the beautiful chief executive of the firm (Alyson Bender); 3. A team of enthusiastic and talented but also highly naïve PhD students, visiting the enigmatic laboratory; 4. A police detective investigating weird cases of suicide or murder; and 5. An enabling device, a futuristic but rather implausible technological novum, in this case a high magnetic tensor field able to shrink objects as well as organisms from normal size down to micro-size. The story line is as follows. Vin Drake, owner of Nanigen, visits Harvard to recruit a team of PhD students working in areas such as entomology, pheromone and plant hormones research, ethnobotany, arachnology (spider science), and the like.
