It took so long for the movie to be released on VHS that I bought the book and read it 2 times in a row when I was in grade 7.
I reread it again recently and realized that Nedry was a pioneer in my current field of Bioinformatics. It talked a lot more about him and the work he had to do as well as why he was open to corporate espionage. The computer problems he had to tackle was amusing to read about especially as our computers are so much more advanced today. "You can't analyze DNA using a computer. The molecule is just too big!"
LOL.
Though, TBF, last time I was in contact with bioinformatics (as a researcher in another field), they were talking about how DNA sampling rates were now high enough and getting higher that there was a compute bottle neck again. This was about 10 years ago. Don't know how things are now.
