“The Death of Expertise” by Tom Nichols

We we stuck at SFO for a few hours this Summer and discovered there’s a museum/library in the International Terminal. Very quiet with nice chairs to chill in.

Goes with her razor tongue and rapier wit, I should think.

It ended with them selling off the dinos (and their DNA) to all sorts of unscrupulous folks. Despite what folks like to bitch about the movie, that concern was the core of the first book and the core concern Crichton pushed forward in it.
