		Michael Crichton's State of Fear is an attempt to meld serious politico-scientific critique with a modern techno-thriller.
		In State of Fear, however, the reader is shackled throughout to dim-witted lawyer Peter Evans.
		State of Fear presents two scenarios, one fictional and one allegedly factual.

	NRDC: Michael Crichton's State of Fear: They Don't Call It Science Fiction for Nothing
		State of Fear, the new offering from novelist and master of disaster Michael Crichton, is more silly than scary.
		That’s what’s happening with State of Fear, in which Crichton builds a fantasy world where global warming is not a real threat, but global warming scientists are.
		Unlike most novels, State of Fear includes footnotes and a bibliography, giving the impression that Crichton unearthed facts buried as part of a dastardly plan by scientists or non-profit groups to suppress disagreement on global warming.

		State of Fear begins in typical thriller fashion, with the murder of an unsuspecting physics student in Paris and the acquisition of a seemingly eclectic collection of high-tech equipment by shadowy figures.
		Most importantly, State of Fear is a wide-ranging exposition on the status of climate and earth science.

	State of Fear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		State of Fear is a 2004 novel by Michael Crichton published by HarperCollins on December 7, 2004.
		The character attributes this effect to the interplay among political actors, attorneys, and the media, all of whom are said to engender fear in the general populace to their own advantage.
		In that case, the fear was the destruction of the ozone but the millions who starved due to spoiled food were never accounted for (although since Freon-12 was mainly an automotive refrigerant, it is debatable whether any starvation can be attributed to its discontinuation).

		With State of Fear, novelist Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain) has written an entertaining book where the scientific debate over global warming provides the backdrop for his hero's heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat struggle against evil and his search for love.
		State of Fear: The record of increasing surface temperatures cited as evidence of global warming is actually caused by the so-called "Urban Heat Island Effect," and is thus a local, not a global, phenomenon.
		State of Fear: If carbon dioxide (CO2) is supposed to be causing a global warming, why was there a global cooling between 1940 and 1970 when CO2 concentrations were increasing?

		Nevertheless, despite suffering through years of rural atrocities, domestic terrorism continued relatively unabated until Guzmán decided to accelerate the revolution and bring the war to Lima by initiating a campaign of random bombings throughout the city.
		It is within this atmosphere of desperation and chaos - a constant "state of fear" - that political outsider Alberto Fujimori ran a successful presidential campaign under the platform of waging a strong-armed war against terrorism.
		To this end, Fujimori suspended the national congress under a heightened - and indeterminate - state of emergency and concentrated power to the presidency.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Crichton's climate fear contention
		The best-selling author Michael Crichton has explained to the BBC why he has argued global warming is a nonsense in his new book, State Of Fear.
		The novel - a thriller - is controversial because it challenges scientific consensus that rapid climate change is being driven by a build-up of human-produced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
		State Of Fear, he contended, was again a work of fiction using fact.

		Both "Red states" and "blue states" attack or attempt to bend science as is convenient to their causes.
		State of Fear on the other hand looks like a good read and if they turn it into a movie it will be even easier to absorb.

		"State of Fear" - aus dem Titel geht kaum hervor, dass es sich um einen Ã—kothriller handelt.
		Doch bei State of Fear Ã¼berwogen meine Bauchschmerzen: Da ist der Superagent Kenner, der im Sinne der "National Security" (oh, wie liebe ich diese Phrase, mit der Amerikaner ALLES rechtfertigen kÃ¶nnen) an allen noch so entlegenen Orten der Welt dieselbe rettet und auf alles, aber auch wirklich alles eine fundierte und belegbare Antwort weiÃ.
		Obwohl Crichton mit seinem neuen Roman "State Of Fear" die These, Globale Erwärmung gäbe es nicht wirklich, substantiell und gekonnt vertritt und damit sicherlich einigen Leuten empfindlich auf den Schlips getreten ist, lässt das Buch als Thriller doch einigermassen zu wünschen übrig.

		We decided to attend the public hearings, and as we listened to the testimonies we realized that the Peruvian TRC was really examining a 20-year "war on terror" with remarkable parallels to the global "war on terror" launched by the Bush administration.
		It became obvious to us that Peru's story presented a timely cautionary tale, and we developed STATE OF FEAR with that in mind - yet also so that the findings of the Peruvian TRC also would live on in the film and serve as a permanent reference for Peruvians of their reevaluated history.
		Peter Kinoy: In STATE OF FEAR, our biggest editorial challenge was to create an exciting visual basis for an incredibly complex and fascinating story that was uncovered by the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

		Women wearing clothes deemed unislamic by the mullahs face fines or imprisonment, while police have been instructed to arrest other dangers to the state including people walking their dogs and "men with outlandish hairstyles." Fines for owning satellite television dishes have multiplied by fifty.
		It's unlikely that the mass slaughters of dissidents that accompanied the 1979 revolution could happen today - and despite Ahmadinejad's presidential victory, most citizens see their future as a part of the international community, not as a closed-off state sacrificing itself for a medieval religious ideal.
		Friendship with the United States is some decades away, perhaps, but for now both sides (outside Ahmadinejad's camp of cranks) would make do with mutual tolerance.

		Hilariously, at the end of his book Crichton states: "A novel such as State of Fear, in which so many divergent views are expressed, may lead the reader to wonder where, exactly, the author stands on these issues." As if it wasn't obvious.
		In State of Fear, however, Crichton is God, and his views become the book's laws of nature.
		Similarly, in State of Fear the specter of a vast environmentalist conspiracy--a problem even less significant than sexual harassment of men by their female superiors--gets trumpeted while real concerns (climate change, for instance) get scoffed at.
