A couple of my friends are obsessed with hot, skinny, blondes. This latest publicity stunt, this viral YouTube video, is part of Michael Crighton’s current new thriller novel, Next, as promoted through the fake corporate website, NEXTgencode.
NEXTgencode is not a hoax so much as it is merely a teaser, right? This is neither new nor unique — par for the course, and right up Michael Crichton’s alley in prep for his next novel, “Next,” a biotech and genetic research thriller.
And yes, I did pooh-pooh the NEXTgencode site as a typical publicity stunt, and it is, but amusing, too.
