Thanks for posting this. Crichton was my favourite author when I was a young boy (I still remember how engrossing Sphere was for me) and to this day I had no idea that he tried his hand at programming.

If you want to find out more about him read his book Travels, is a very interesting take on an autobiography type novel. Its one of my favourites but I don't know anyone else who's read it.

This site is weirdly reticent about the fact that he's been dead for years...

Which of his books were pioneering or futuristic in how they showed people using computers ?

I remember when someone posted here their javascript project demonstrating how you could make ads and modals pop up when the user's mouse left the page. There were a lot of comments about the potential for abuse, but ultimately it was decided that like all science it could not be inherently evil.
Still, I sometimes wonder if they feel any remorse.

There's a typo in the heading "Chrichton" should be "Crichton".
