DECONSTRUCTION: The Lost Word by Michael Crichton

Deconstruction (French: déconstruction) is a form of semiotic analysis, derived mainly from French philosopher Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology. Derrida proposed the deconstruction of all texts where binary oppositions are used in the construction of meaning and values. The first task of deconstruction, starting with philosophy and afterwards in literary and juridical texts, would be to overturn all the binary oppositions of metaphysics (signifier/signified; sensible/intelligible; writing/speech; passivity/activity; etc). According to Derrida, deconstruction should traverse a phase of "overturning" these oppositions.

To do justice to this necessity, deconstruction starts from recognizing that in a classical philosophical opposition readers are not dealing with the peaceful coexistence of a vis-a-vis, but rather with a violent hierarchy. One of the two terms governs the other (axiologically, logically, etc.), or one of the two terms is dominant (signified over signifier; intelligible over sensible; speech over writing; activity over passivity; male over female; man over animal, etc). To deconstruct the opposition, first of all, would be to overturn the hierarchy at a given moment. To overlook this phase of overturning would be to forget the conflictual and subordinating structure of opposition.

The final task of deconstruction is not to surpass all oppositions; because it is assumed that they are structurally necessary to produce sense, they cannot be suspended once and for all. They need to be analyzed and criticized in all their manifestations; the function of both logical and axiological oppositions must be studied in all discourses to provide meaning and values. Deconstruction does not only expose how oppositions work and how meaning and values are produced in a nihilistic or cynic position, "thereby preventing any means of intervening in the field effectively". To be effective, and simply as its mode of practice, deconstruction creates new notions or concepts, not to synthesize the terms in opposition, but to mark their difference, undecidability, and eternal interplay.

The Story:

Six years after the disaster at Jurassic Park, Ian Malcolm - who is revealed to have actually survived the events of the previous novel via a retcon - teams up with paleontologist Richard Levine after learning about Site B, the "production facility" where the park's dinosaurs were hatched and grown, on Isla Sorna near Isla Nubar (the Jurassic Park site). When Levine leaves without Malcolm, he plans a rescue, with a team consisting of Doc Thorne, Eddie Carr, and two stowaway children, "Arby" Benton and Kelly Curtis.

Simultaneously, another group - geneticist Lewis Dodgson, Malcolm's ex-lover Sarah Harding, Howard King and George Baselton - also go to Sorna, with plans to steal dinosaur eggs for Biosyn, the rival company of InGen, the Jurassic Park company. On the way to the island, Dodgson throws Harding off the boat and leaves her for dead, but she is rescued by Malcolm's group. The entire rogue group are killed by dinosaurs on the island.

The group finds Levine alive and well, but bitten, and after dinosaur attacks leave Eddie dead and Malcolm injured by Tyrannosaurs Rexparents looking for a baby and spends much of the novel high on morphine, leaving him prone to talk at length about the evolution on Isla Sorna, whose raptors are antisocial compared to Isla Nubar's raptors, and he finds out that InGen fed its dinosaurs sheep infected with prion disease, which makes the dinosaurs' life spans shorter than normal and will pass to animals bitten by them, leading to an eventual extinction of the Site B dinosaurs. Kelly discovers a boat in an abandoned building and group escapes the island. On the boat, Malcolm tells Levine about the prion disease, which was spread island wide by the scavenger procompsognathus species, but tells Levine his bites are fine and the disease would only infect dinosaurs.

The Criticism:

In the 1st book, the release of the napalm kinda solve their problems regarding the dinosaurs. 

The parks problem was solved, but what they don't know is there is another facility which breeds and hatches dinosaurs. The book perfectly shows how genetic engineering can destroy civilization. In addition, it also shows how a secret can bring back past catastrophes. In the present times, plants are being engineered to withstand survive calamities. Just imagine this, what if the bio-engineers do this to animals? What do you think the results would be? Animal domination.
Also, the "prion disease" represents the side effects caused by bio engineering, and how it could spread.
Once they found out the effects of the "prion" they quickly took advantage of it and let the disease take its toll on the dinosaurs.
