Crichton went on to become a full-time writer, and is credited as the creator of the techno-thriller. He has sold more than 100 million books, many of which have been made into films, including Jurassic Park and Disclosure. He has also directed six films, is the creator of the television show ER and has a dinosaur, Bienosaurus crichtoni, named after him. He is divorced and lives in Los Angeles.
