«Prey» is the science fiction and suspense novel by Michael Crichton, published by HarperCollins Publishers in paperback (369 pages, in English).
In the Nevada desert, a team of scientists tries to recover a swarm of microrobots that has escaped from the laboratory. The swarm is self-sufficient, reproduces, and learns from experience; programmed as a predator, it becomes increasingly deadly and turns the human being into its prey.
The novel was originally published in 2002; this 2004 edition was published under the Best Reads imprint of HarperCollins.
Readers of science fiction and techno-thriller, and fans of Michael Crichton.
John Michael Crichton was an American author, screenwriter and filmmaker. His books have sold over 200 million copies worldwide, and over a dozen have been adapted into films. His literary works heavily feature technology and are usually within the science fiction, techno-thriller, and medical fiction genres. Crichton's novels often explore human technological advancement and attempted dominance over nature, both with frequently catastrophic results; many of his works are cautionary tales, especially regarding themes of biotechnology. Several of his stories center on themes of genetic modification, hybridization, paleontology and/or zoology. Many feature medical or scientific underpinnings, reflective of his own medical background.
