I can't get Jurassic Park back online without Dennis Nedry.

I just had a beautiful insight about the movie Jurassic Park and how it works as an exemplar of the dangers of centralisation. This may be some basic bitch shit.

The whole infrastructure of the park is hooked up in a large network with a single giant control centre at the heart of it.

That control centre is overseen by a small number of professionals working with little oversight. They have a massive concentration of power, and can theoretically effect life or death outcomes.

A corrupt employee introduces a virus into the system through this central organ, that alters the code on which the whole park runs, and spreads out through the network causing catastrophic failures and security breaches.

The experts are unable to fix the problem because the 'jurisdiction' bestowed by the central control model has enabled the hacker to undermine the integrity of the centre and then conceal that undermining beneath layers of complexity and security.

The only way to get it working is to turn the whole park off and on again...

Ahh ahh ahh, you didn't say the magic word!
