All shenanigans started because Dennis Nedry, the parc IT manager, disabled some security system at a bad time so he could sell some company secrets to concurrents. There are interesting character analysis to do between the book and the movie version, where the book version or Dennis Nedry is way more sympathetic (even if flawed), he's a extremely talented IT guy who was undersold the amount of work to do in the park, kinda stuck doing unpaid overwork in a remote island and generally been fleeced by a way more villainous book John Hammond.
