Prey by Michael Crichton – Hardcover (Former Library Edition)

Description Step into the terrifying world of runaway technology with Prey, a high-stakes techno-thriller from the legendary Michael Crichton. In the remote Nevada desert, a revolutionary experiment in nanotechnology goes catastrophically wrong. A “swarm” of self-replicating micro-robots, designed for military surveillance, has escaped the lab. These particles are intelligent, evolving, and—most disturbingly—predatory. The story follows Jack Forman, a stay-at-home dad and former high-tech specialist, who is called in to help his wife’s company contain the disaster. What he finds is a nightmare beyond human control. Crichton masterfully blends cutting-edge science with heart-pounding suspense, exploring the ethical boundaries of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. This hardcover edition is a must-read for fans of Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain. While this specific copy has lived a previous life in a library, it remains a sturdy, readable volume perfect for those who prioritize the story and the thrill of a classic Crichton adventure.
