Timeline By Michael Crighton

 

Book Review of Timeline by Michael Crighton

 

- …alert and ready for anything. This was a different world, with different rules.  And for the first time, he was in it. Totally in it. -

 

The brutality of the real world.

 

- something was missing, or out of place. Finally, he said, "What's wrong?"
She laughed. "Oh, that," she said. "Listen."
Chris stood silently for a moment, listening. There was the chirp of birds, the soft rustle of a faint breeze in the trees. But other than that . . .
"I don't hear anything."
"That's right," Gomez said. "It upsets some people when they first arrive. There's no ambient noise here: no radio or TV, no airplanes, no machinery, no passing cars. In the twentieth century, we're so accustomed to hearing sound all the time, the silence feels creepy."

 

I speak of a types of people who are "Empathy Impaired," or have no empathy, unsensitive and uncaring.

 

I would say Michael Crichton, is "Empathy Personified," anybody who can empathize with people in another timeline has me applauding.

 

Movies is teaching a new generation the history of the planet, if we are going to wander off on this tangent, and we have no choice, I want a person like Michael to tell the story.

 

Thanks Michael,
