I read this in high school in the summer for AP Biology class and we had to write a few pages about the scientific accuracy of the book. This book focuses on swarming behavior and how animals signal each other, nanotechnology, nanobots, and science gone wrong. I liked it a lot but the characters could have been better. And most of it was scientifically accurate, like 90%. To me, a scientist, that's the best part and most unique thing about Michael Crichton. I like a lot of his books.
