Reading Jurassic Park as a digital file adds a layer of irony to the reading experience. The novel warns of the dangers of advanced technology outpacing humanity's wisdom. In the story, scientists use advanced computers to decode dinosaur DNA, filling the gaps with frog DNA, ultimately losing control of their creation.
Crichton critiques the commercialization of science. In the novel, John Hammond is not the grandfatherly figure seen in the films; he is a greedy, short-sighted businessman who views prehistoric life as a mere commodity. The "scientific brilliance" used to recover and clone DNA is presented as a "dangerous toy" in the hands of those who do not respect the power they wield.
