Title: environmentalist damage control
Review: Characters fly around the world trying to prevent catastrophes planned by an environmentalist who wants more money. I love the scene where a tree-hugging actor comes face to face with the 'noble savages' he admires. Lots of lawyers, some nice, some nasty. Lectures scattered throughout: reminds me of "Atlas Shrugged." The appendix has loads of pro/con references so you check out the 'not politically correct' arguments for yourself. Crichton's underlying complaint here is similar to that of Pinker in "The Blank Slate" i.e., mainstream science has abandoned the scientific method. He's basically saying he's tired of all the nonsense. It's fun to read his characters saying the same thing as they save the world from the 'do-gooders.'
