Who is the author of Jurassic Park?

The story behind the answer

Michael Crichton wrote the 1990 sci‑fi novel Jurassic Park, a techno‑thriller about cloning dinosaurs from ancient DNA; Steven Spielberg adapted it into the blockbuster 1993 film. A trained physician, Crichton became known for blending cutting‑edge science with suspense, using themes like genetic engineering and chaos theory (voiced by the character Ian Malcolm).
