Synopsis "next (in Catalan)"

amb la seva habitual habilitat per unir ciència i suspens, en la seva nova novel·la michael crichton apropa el lector al món de l`enginyeria genètica, un món vertiginós on res és el que sembla i on cada dia s`obren un munt de noves possibilitats. però els descobriments científics també poden ser perillosos; barrejar gens de ximpanzé i ésser humà pot portar moltes conseqüències, com aviat descobrirà l`investigador henry kendall.amb un ritme sostingut i una imaginació intel·ligent, aquest thriller científic retrata els fils opacs i multimilionaris que mouen els suposats descobriments genètics i ens planteja tot un seguit de qüestions ètiques, polítiques, científiques i filosòfiques, que ben segur definiran el futur del món.

Michael Crichton (Chicago, Illinois, October 23, 1942 - Los Angeles, California, November 4, 2008) was an American writer, screenwriter, director, and film producer. Famous for his work in the genres of science fiction, suspense, and medical fiction. More than two hundred million literary copies of his works have been sold, most of them bestsellers, which have been translated into more than thirty-eight languages, and of which twelve have been made into films.

His novels often feature elements of the action genre and focus on a strong technological component. In fact, Crichton is considered the pioneer of the techno-thriller narrative genre. His novels often explore future scientific and technological advances that end in biotechnology disasters. Crichton is known for being the father of Jurassic Park and also of the prestigious TV series ER. He is the only person who has simultaneously had, in the United States, the best-selling book —Disclosure—, the number one movie at the box office —Jurassic Park—, and the television series with the highest viewership —ER—.
