The Lost World (Jurassic Park, #2)

by Michael Crichton

It’s so complex—how is it even possible that life ever happens at all?

And everybody on earth knows that innovation only occurs in small groups. Put three people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people, and it gets harder. Thirty people, and nothing happens. Thirty million, it becomes impossible. That’s the effect of mass media—it keeps anything from happening.

“All your life, other people will try to take your accomplishments away from you. Don’t you take it away from yourself.”
