Państwo strachu

Crichton blends fact and fiction seamlessly, but I'm curious whether he intended to spark genuine debate or just entertain. What do readers think about the balance here?

The book presents some extreme scenarios that made me question whether activism is portrayed as entirely noble or if there's a darker side being hinted at. How did others interpret this?

Using suspense and adventure to explore such a complex topic was bold. I wonder if Crichton saw this as a way to reach a broader audience or to make the science more accessible.
