Crichton was one of my favorite authors. No one could write "good tech gone really, really bad" novels like him. Not all of his books were gems, and some of the movie adaptations were pretty awful (cough--Looker!--cough!) (cough--Congo!--cough!). But overall, his was a great voice for exploring the potential of technology, and warning of its potential danger. He will be sorely missed.
