Jurassic Park may be more of suspense thriller with dinosaurs than a science fiction novel, but who's counting? Science is totally a big deal in this baby. We'll be honest: the book may not be anti-science, but it's definitely kind of anti-scientist. Now, not every scientist in the book comes off as a fool—Grant and Sattler, for example, put their scientific knowledge to good use—but the plot basically involves scientists being stupid. Then, there's Ian Malcolm, the primary ethical voice of the novel, who's totally critical of the methods and the pride of the scientists in the novel. According to him, scientists are destroyers as much as they are discoverers.
Malcolm is largely right about scientists.
Malcolm is a scientist himself.
