I was thinking of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I read the books and saw the series. I don’t know if I saw the movie. I thought it was fun and enjoyable. It certainly is not “hard science” science fiction.
I think everything from Michael Crichton qualifies as science fiction. Many were made into movies, however not State of Fear (criticized AGW).
I would love for Michael Crichton to have lived long enough to do a State of Fear type novel about Covid - I believe he would have done a great job on that...
