33 Years Ago, Spielberg’s Sci-FI Masterpiece Completely Missed the Point of the Original

By 1990, Michael Crichton was enjoying a remarkable period of success. While he’d first gained attention with The Andromeda Strain in 1969 and had some earlier hits, the 1980s saw him publish three hugely popular science fiction/horror novels—Congo (1980), Sphere (1987), and Jurassic Park (1990). All three were later turned into successful movies during the 1990s.
