    I think the best part of the book was the hubris of the government. They threw technology at a problem that was untested and unplanned.

    if we spend enough money, surely we can solve the problem

    Such a late 80s and 90s sentiment

      scientific hubris is the underlying theme of almost all of Crichton’s sci-fi books.
