Anarky is a fictional character appearing in books published by DC Comics. Co-created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, he first appeared in Detective Comics #608 (November 1989), as an adversary of Batman. Introduced as Lonnie Machin, a child prodigy with knowledge of radical philosophy and driven to overthrow governments to improve social conditions, stories revolving around Anarky often focus on political and philosophical themes. Originally, the character was portrayed with socialist, left-leaning views, but after Grant's own viewpoint shifted to reflect the influence of Frank R. Wallace's Neo-Tech philosophy, an offshoot of Ayn Rand's Objectivism, the character Anarky essentially shifted towards free market libertarianism. Which is funny if you consider that Rand did not like anarchism, and found the idea of combining anarchism with capitalism to be appalling. The feeling is mutual for anarchists (a communist philosophy), who despise libertarians and Rand. Anarchy Is Chaos: Averted. In Metamorphosis, he is horrified to the point of giving up his big master plan when he is presented with reasonable evidence that anarchy will lead to chaos and will ultimately resurrect the very governments he is trying to oppose.

The events at Jurassic Park left Alan unhappy with dinosaurs as he lost the passion he had with them.

However, it only takes one Rousing Speech from Anarky and his lead in hotwiring a forklift, which he crashes into the scaffolding, to turn the crowd in mourning into a full-scale rioting mob.In the Novel, Grant tells the kids he had a wife who died years prior to the novel. This is never mentioned in any of the movies or comics, though he is notably disgusted by Ian Malcolm's flippant attitude toward marriage, even giving him a dirty look when he remarks that he is "Always on the lookout for future ex-Mrs. Malcolm."

Grant's 1997 Anarky miniseries is essentially a four-issue-long Author Filibuster, delivered via Anarky's Inner Monologue, long philosophical debates with Batman, Darkseid, and Etrigan, and occasional pauses in the action to allow Anarky to break the fourth wall to lecture the reader directly on his alternative view of human history and development. Let’s not forget that Alan Grant is a paleontology graduate, so he’s basically a paleontologist – probably or literally a Ph.D. holder. Thus, he’s referred to as Dr. Alan Grant. William Hurt was offered the role of Grant, but turned it down without reading the script or the book.
