NON- FICTION Michael Crichton has also written some non-fiction works, most of them along the lines of his fiction works, i.e. medical themes, technology and the human being. |

An 1970 account of his years as a student at medical school, through five real cases he encountered and that reflect Michael Crichton’s worries about the way health care is provided and patients are treated. These themes he would revisit later in E.R., whose screenplay he wrote not much later, in 1974, although it did not make it to the screen until 1994. |

Presented as a user’s guide for computing in general, which was becoming available to the general public then in 1983, it also includes witty remarks that reflect Michael Crichton’s worries about an overdependence of people’s ordinary life on technology, a theme that can be found in practically all of his works. |

Travels is Michael Crichton’s most autobiographical work to date, in which he describes, in 1988, his years as a medical student, 1965-1969, and his later life as a writer, moviemaker and frequent traveller 1971-1987. Events during these trips inspired his novels Congo and Sphere. |

In 1977, Michael Crichton wrote an enxtensive accompanying text to the catalogue on his friend and artist Jasper Johns’s exhibition in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. His analysis on Johns’s works – which he has been collecting for years – was so detailed and profound that it became to be considered the “preeminent study” of this artist. A second revised, expanded, and updated edition was published in 1994. In its large and hard bound coffee table book format, it is definitely Michael Crichton biggest book! |
