About Prey
Prey is a novel by Michael Crichton, his thirteenth under his own name and twenty-third overall, first published in November 2002, making his first novel of the twenty-first century. The novel serves as a cautionary tale about developments in science and technology; in this case, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and distributed artificial intelligence. The book features relatively new advances in the computing/scientific community, such as artificial life, emergence (and by extension, complexity), genetic algorithms, and agent-based computing. Fields such as population dynamics and host-parasite coevolution are also at the heart of the novel. ---------- Contains: [Prey [1/2]](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL28766164W) [Prey [2/2]](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL28766161W) Also contained in: [Reader's Digest Condensed Books](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL26430990W)
