Jurassic Park is a technological thriller—it's totally into issues like the dangers technological development has for human beings. Chief among these dangers is the illusion that advances in technology are automatically beneficial. Crichton questions whether modern conveniences really are as convenient as we're told, whether technology should be advanced just because it can be, and whether technology really gives us more power over our lives and our environments. While the novel doesn't want to turn us against technology, it does want us to be a little more cautious about new technologies and new technological promises.
