In the unforgiving landscape of the Nevada desert, a disastrous experiment unfolds as a cloud of nanoparticles, resembling micro-robots, breaks free from the confines of a laboratory. This ethereal entity possesses a remarkable ability to self-sustain and replicate. What is more astonishing is its seemingly sentient nature, as it learns and evolves through experience. With an inherent predatory programming, it continually morphs, developing increasingly difficult with each passing moment. Despite all efforts, every endeavor to thwart its advance proves futile. As this relentless force gains momentum, it becomes ominously clear - we are now the hunted.
Crichton is the king of speculative science fiction. Prey, with its thrills and intense experience, is a good techno-thriller. Some plot twists were confusing and unbelievable, but overall, it was because of these points that I decided to give this book a 3-star rating.
