Congo 是 Michael Crichton 于 1980 年出版的科幻小说，是他以真名发表的第五部小说，也是其总计第十五部作品。小说围绕一支探险队展开，他们深入刚果茂密的热带雨林寻找钻石，并调查上一支探险队神秘死亡的真相。Crichton 称 Congo 是一部继承了 Henry Rider Haggard 的 King Solomon's Mines 所开创传统的“失落世界”小说，并融入了该作品标题中的矿藏元素。

《天外来菌》是克莱顿最好的小说/改编电影之一，另外还有《死者食肉》（别看电影版）和《火车大劫案》。我还莫名挺喜欢《金刚》，不过那时候克莱顿就已经有点疯疯癫癫了。
The Andromeda Strait is one of the best Crichton books/movies, along with The Eaters of the Dead (skip the movie) and The Great Train Robbery. I also have a strange fondness for Congo, but by that time Crichton had gone crazypants.
没错，我小时候读《CONGO》和《SPHERE》之类的时候，也是后知后觉才认出作者……克莱顿先生对我们身处的技术世界的脉搏把握得太准了。他创作出的这一系列故事实在太狂野了……在读到 Stephenson 先生他们的作品之前，他一直是我最喜欢的作家……
Yes, I too had the same disparity in recognizing the author as a young 'un, reading CONGO and SPHERE and so on .. Mr. Crichton sure had his finger on the pulse of the technological world we live in. What a wild series of stories he has created .. he was my favourite author until Messrs. Stephenson…
我也许记错了（读完过去太久了，而且这可能只是主题上跟书很契合但其实书里并没有），但我记得那是迈克尔·克莱顿的《刚果惊魂》（Congo），而不是史蒂芬·金的书。
I may be wrong (its been a long time since I read it, and it may be just something that fits really well thematically with the book but wasn’t actually in it), but I think that was Michael Crichton’s Congo, not a Steven King book.
我让它推荐“硬核太空科幻”，结果它给了我一本讲太空的书（不是科幻）、一本背景在海洋里的讲精神疾病的书（大概是？很难讲清楚）、迈克尔·克莱顿的《刚果惊魂》（Congo，根本不是太空），以及一本可能算是硬太空科幻的书。修改补充：我又问了一遍，得到的是：一本讲太空的书、另一本讲太空的书（时空与几何）、一……
I asked it for "hard space sci-fi", and it gave me a book about space (not sci-fi), a book about mental illness set in the ocean (I think? It was hard to tell), Congo by Michael Crichton (not space), and one book that might have been hard space sci-fi. Edit: I asked it again, and got: a boo about space, another kind of book about space (spacetime and geometry), a…
……考古学家利用侧光照明和红外胶片 + 镜头，发现一面石墙其实是用砖砌成然后再粉刷上去的。这掩盖了一个特殊地点的入口（不想剧透太多）。- 迈克尔·克莱顿的《刚果惊魂》（Congo）[1] 主角们利用相机 + 卫星链路对一幅壁画进行图像扫描，然后把扫描数据传回超级计算机进行处理。那幅壁画解释了关于……的一个关键点
…archaeologists use side lighting and IR film + lenses to identify that a stone wall was made out of bricks and then painted over. This hid an entrance to a special place (don't want to spoil too much). - Congo by Michael Crichton [1] The protagonists use a camera + satellite link to visually scan a mural and then send the scan back to supercomputers for processing. That mural explains a key point about the…
这种把虚构写得跟枯燥事实一模一样的作品绝对是最棒的。我年轻、更单纯容易上当受骗那会儿，记得自己对《刚果惊魂》（Congo）半信半疑，书里一本正经地声称故事尽可能真实，只是在没有记录细节的地方克莱顿才进行了艺术加工。但至少对《刚果惊魂》，我猜到了这是一种文学手法。而当我……
This kind of fiction presented as dry fact is absolutely the best. In my younger and more gullible years, I recall semi-believing in Congo, with the fake assertions that the story is as true as possible, but where no details are recorded, Crichton engaged in creative license. But at least with Congo I suspected a literary device. When I…
