R.I.P Michael Crichton

We have just found out that one of our favorite authors died Tuesday after having privately battled cancer. Michael Crichton was a visionary, a scientist, and an artist. Countless hours of our time were spent reading and rereading his books. Titles such as The Andromeda Strain, Congo, The Terminal Man, Sphere, and Jurassic Park made science cool.

"We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us."
-Michael Crichton in Jurassic Park

Perhaps there you were wrong, Mr. Crichton. The world will most definitely miss you. But even it didn't, those little boys, hell, those college freshmen, who stayed up late reading Prey sure will.
