Pray

I'm reading Prey by MichaelCrichton. I got it free with my breakfast cereal (well, two packets). The usual Crichton page-turner, so effortlessly done.

But I thought the comment on his web page about the younger generation being up to the challenge of nanotechnology was a bit patronising. So much more reassuring if Crichton pointed out how stupid young people are and how they couldn't possibly cope with a nano-threat. He needs to go all Prince Charles on us and get people really scared.
