| Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park explores the chaotic dynamics of a population of genetically engineered dinosaurs. |
| The story itself provides a good example of sensitive depenence on initial conditions. |
| At another level, flipping through the novel in a Providence bookstore, I decided to buy it because I happened to see on of the section heading pages with its fractal curve picture. |
| If I hadn't seen that picture, I may not have purchased the book. |
| Probably, this isn't the sort of sensitivity to initial conditions that Crichton intended to associate with hs book. |
