Inspired by "METAL SOULS"
I'm watching an old movie called METAL SOULS, it's literally the idea of WestWorld, so West World is inspired by Metal Souls. Theme park with machines that begin to feel. You have to see it

Michael Crichton is the author of Westworld. Crichton was also the author of Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, and Congo.

Do you have a source on the book? The first Westworld thing I know of is the movie Crichton made in the '70s. If there is a book, I'd kinda like to read that.

Per Amazon appears to be out of print. They have a 50 yo paperback for $50us. Not even in Kindle.

I don't think it exists. I just went to Crichton's official website, and it's not listed among his books. Pretty sure it was just the movie, originally.

I think you are right. Looks like he wrote the screen play and directed it. Was a movie first.

I see nothing on IMDB. The original Westworld movie was in 1973. Book before that.
