History in Reverse Sci-Fi Podcast Ep. 24: "Andromeda Strain"

History in Reverse - Father and daughter science fiction podcast

In this episode we discuss the book and the movie "Andromeda Strain", This book was the first novel that Micheal Crichton published under his own name, and it was made into a movie in the early 1970s. This was the first time Caroline saw this movie and she liked it. Both the book and the movie were very suspenseful and quite exciting at times, even when the plot was predictable. The movie shows how scientist deal with researching a new pathogen, which we thought was bit relevant to the pandemic we have just been through.
