Westworld vs. Jurassic Park: when playing god is clearly a bad idea.
Westworld vs. Jurassic Park: when playing god is clearly a bad idea.
Michael Crichton's legacy is larger than I ever thought. Westworld started a bit slow but it seems that comes from the storyline which, alike Game of Thrones, was carefully put together so as to take a central role itself. For this it first must unroll and gain some speed. Just like science, the further one digs the more one wonders.
Edit: As I later added in the comments I feel I must mention that, in my case, it is the scripts of American TV series which got me back into reading work of fiction, the latest of which is "The Futurological Congress" by Stanislaw Lem. The only thing which can reliably keep me in front of a piece of fiction on TV is its story.

Mankind playing god never works out. BTW: After I've watched some episodes, I found "Westworld" very well done. A thrilling experience on so many levels. Together with "The Crown" it's my #1 tv show of the year 2016
Marc Schnau this is the kind of shows which got me back to reading fictions.
I watched the first two series, despite my dislike for serials. The quality is high, but then I will not look - sorry time.
Irene K. The same for me and, I assume, most of us. After a day at work, watching a series is often more enticing that reading classical literature. Fortunately I commute a lot and so can read during that.
I'm happy for you, Zaid El-Hoiydi
