Michael Crichton

Forfatterbiografi

Michael Crichton (født John Michael Crichton den 23. oktober 1942 i Chicago, død 4. november 2008 i Los Angeles) var en amerikansk forfatter, læge og filmskaber. Han er især kendt for sine grundigt research- og idétunge thrillere, hvor videnskabelige og teknologiske udviklinger undersøges som drivkraft for spænding og etiske konsekvenser. Genremæssigt bevægede han sig især inden for science fiction og technothriller, ofte med en journalistisk og næsten procedurepræget stil. Crichton fik tidligt gennemslagskraft som fortæller og blev siden en af de mest populære navne i den moderne populærlitteratur. Hans litterære univers tæller blandt andet romanerne The Andromeda Strain og Jurassic Park, der begge har haft stor kulturel gennemslagskraft. Disclosure, som udkom som roman i 1994, følger samme linje: en stramt konstrueret fortælling om magt, information og teknologi, hvor handlingen udspiller sig som en fagligt funderet konflikt. Ved siden af forfatterskabet stod han også bag tv-serien ER som skaber. Crichtons betydning for litteraturen knytter sig til, at han forenede underholdning med videnskabelig nysgerrighed og gjorde komplekse emner brede for et stort publikum. Hans værker har præget både læsevaner og senere thrillerforfatteres måde at skrive teknologisk aktualitet ind i spændingsgenren på.
