Tentatively, Convenience's Reviews > Prey

If I hadn't already read Greg Bear's "Blood Music" before I read this I wd've liked this alot more. But this just seems like a rewrite of "Blood Music" (even if it's not) w/ less interesting characters. I read in the Wikipedia entry for Crichton that most of his stories are cautionary tales of technology gone awry despite "failsafes" - w/ the additional comment that he's NOT anti-technology. I never saw him as anti-technology, I just saw him as using the usual fear tactics to drive his plots.
