We are three episodes in to the HBO series "Westworld", based on the Michael Crichton movie of the same name, and it is glorious. The writing, set, and direction are spectacular, and the actors pull you into the story with their incredible performances. Like any good story by Michael Crichton, it is based in reality. Westworld seems, all at once, immensely futuristic and within our grasp.
Speaking of Michael Crichton stories, I have been fascinated by "Jurassic Park" for a long time. Seeing dinosaurs that are alive and breathing and not some robot in a roped off area would be amazing. I just watched a documentary called "Dinosaurs: The Hunt for Life" that brings this concept to the forefront. The Hell's Creek formation in Montana contains incredibly well preserved dinosaur fossils that have been shown to theoretically contain dinosaur, specifically T-Rex, DNA. While it is still theory and contamination cannot be ruled out, this is exciting for people like me to think that seeing a live T-Rex might only be a few years away.
