Synopsis "Next (in English)"

Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease? We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps, a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and to test our spouses for genetic maladies.We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes . . .Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn.Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and the bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect. The future is closer than you think.

Michael Crichton (Chicago, Illinois, 23 de octubre de 1942 - Los Ángeles, California, 4 de noviembre de 2008) fue un escritor, guionista, director y productor de cine estadounidense. Célebre por sus trabajos en los géneros de la ciencia ficción, la intriga y la ficción médica. Se han vendido más de doscientos millones de copias literarias de sus obras,​ la mayoría superventas, que han sido traducidas a más de treinta y ocho idiomas, y de las cuales doce se han llevado al cine.

Sus novelas suelen contar con elementos del género de la acción y se centran en un fuerte componente tecnológico. De hecho Crichton es considerado el iniciador del género narrativo tecno-thriller.​ Sus novelas a menudo exploran avances científicos y tecnológicos futuros que acaban en catástrofes de la biotecnología. Crichton es conocido por ser el padre de Parque Jurásico y también de la prestigiosa​ serie de televisión ER. Es la única persona que ha tenido simultáneamente, en Estados Unidos, el libro más vendido —Acoso—, la película número uno en la taquilla —Parque Jurásico— y la serie de televisión con mayor audiencia —ER—.
