Travels Through the Fourth Dimension
Travels Through the Fourth Dimension
And it’s time time time, and it’s time time time, And it’s time time time that you love, And it’s time time time.

How Michael Crichton Mined Classic Literature to Write Modern Science Fiction

HBO’s remake of Crichton’s early film Westworld was met with great fanfare, both from critics and audiences. And in 2017, a newly-discovered Crichton manuscript will…
