- ggm 2y agoI enjoyed "state of fear" but it's important to read the takedown on his bad science. Great airport adventure thriller. Terrible footnotes. The man was a cooker. He bought a lot of bad chart interpretation to the table and the idea of a Mafioso green movement using as yet uninvented ground shakers and carbon fibre lightning conductors is pure james bond. What is it with pot boilers and poison? Dan Brown had anaphylactic nut liquor, Crichton has blue ring octopi.

It's a complex problem, and almost impossible to model correctly, but that doesn't make it science fiction.
