What was the first name of Jurassic Park author Crichton?

The first name of Jurassic Park author Crichton was Michael. Michael Crichton wrote the original Jurassic Park novel, which was published in 1990 and became the foundation for the film franchise.

Crichton was an American author, screenwriter, and filmmaker whose work often combined scientific concepts with suspense. Jurassic Park centers on genetic engineering, fossil DNA, and the risks of trying to control a complex biological system. Its fictional cloning process was created for entertainment and is not a practical method for bringing non-avian dinosaurs back to life.

Crichton also wrote The Lost World, published in 1995. That novel is a sequel to Jurassic Park, but its plot and character details differ from the later film adaptation. Crichton’s name is sometimes associated only with the movies, although he also served as an executive producer on the 1993 film.
