![]() As an all-around book nerd, this made me giddy about the title choice of Evolution because of the way the contagion has evolved as well as the story and how it’s told. Not only does he modernize the technology itself, he also acknowledges public technology and how social media plays into government operations, specifically with things like “viral” videos. Wilson, who has a background in science – specifically artificial intelligence and robotics – managed to take Crichton’s “techno-thriller” and bring it into the 21 st century. However, knowing that Crichton’s family is protective of the integrity of his work and Wilson’s The Andromeda Evolution is the only sequel to be authorized by Crichton’s estate made me confident in what I was about to read. I read a lot of continuations and adaptations of classic literature, but I’m usually apprehensive about doing so with subjects that require such attention to detail like science fiction. ![]()
