Who else first saw/read about these in Jurassic Park?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I believe I first heard of these in an Alex Rider book. Forget which one.

I first worked on one in a summer thing between high school and college - before Jurassic Park. That experience is what originally got me interested in the Internet.
