Jurassic Park is a novel presented about a group of scientists who visited an island and were able to collect DNA remains from an insect that was well kept in amber. The fossil DNA was “cloned” into selected amphibian DNA, and before long, the replicated fossils were rejuvenated by the destruction of the island. Jurassic Park was released in 1990, in the heat of the information age, when seemingly the entire world was rapidly becoming interested in mechanization. Companies and institutions wanted to mechanize their lives and work, although occasionally on a considerably smaller scale than that of Hammond's Park. This happened just a decade before the predicted "Millennium Turn" that saw computer mechanics and information technology specialists around the world revitalize by the disaster. Jurassic Park is about a ferocious world, about masses of relics roaming the plains, consuming everything in their path. It is a vehemence to which mortal man can only respond with greater violence. Jurassic Park offers us a renewed Darwinian forest, in which animals struggle to survive. The fragile ones that fail to survive end up dying and becoming non-existent, like fossils. The fierce struggle for territory and food is part of the ingenious process by which we came into existence. That fierce struggle is what gives us birth. It is our land. Ultimately, the novel proposes that violence is productive. It is the development of the belief that hominid society flourishes and functions through this violent struggle between contending people, each seeking their own benefits. The metaphor of “survival of the fittest,” of lifespan as a Darwinian forest, troubles much of our communal language today. What our stars have left is the freedom to escape the predicament they have created. It is the freedom of not being in the right place, which is the ultimate freedom of our present mortal man, to confine the secluded and solitary being to which we belong. In recent decades, wonderful things have happened and unexpected freedoms have been achieved. We witnessed the choice of Nelson Mandela as president of South Africa and the most recent secession of South Sudan. The fall of the Berlin Wall is another example. Despite all this, we are sometimes drawn to a sad fatalism, an emotion that nothing we do can effectively address and overwhelm rising levels of poverty, cruelty and death. This is what Havel calls the overall inability of modern humanity to be master of its own individual state.
