Having read many other books by this author I must say I was a bit disappointed. The artistic license with cutting edge science in nanomechanics, computer programming, and biosciences was not unusual for Crichton; but, the suspending of belief required to accept human beings being "infected" and brought entirely under control of non-living "organisms" sent this plot back to Saturday afternoon matinees like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (which this story resembles.) It stopped me wondering "could this happen?" and sent me straight to "it's just another sci-fi fantasy." Perhaps the reality of Covid-19 makes this story seem trivial, but I found it hard to finish reading the last twenty pages.
