Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, By George Orwell

When I was in college at Harvard, I had continued my writing career by helping my classmates write their assignments. In my English class, I had suspicions that my professor was unfairly marking down my work. I remember thinking, something just isn't right about these grades. I had spent so much time on these papers, only to get grades that I didn't deserve. So I did what anyone else would do. I conducted an experiment. I plagiarized and turned in an essay by George Orwell. My professor returned the paper to me, without recognizing the plagiarism, and had given me a B- grade. My experiment showed me the truth. This caused me to change my studies from literature to biological anthropology. (InterestingLiterature) Looking back now, I can see

(Jurassic) Another one of my best selling books, Sphere, which was written in 1967 as a companion book to Andromeda Strain. The theme of this book was extremely hard to work with. This theme included working with superior intelligence, something that takes very long, and is harder than you think. The alien in my story was not human like at all, which is what most people would expect. (Sphere) I wasn't only known as a great writer, I was also known as the hit television show creator of the series ER. I had just finished filming my first movie in 1974, and wanted my next accomplishment to be completely different. I decided to write a documentary movie about what it is like for 24 hours in an emergency room. I had apparently been way too satisfied with my work, because what I thought was brilliant screenplay, no one would film it. After nine-teen years of sitting on a shelf,
