The final book in the Space Trilogy, That Hideous Strength, is my favorite in his fiction repertoire. The Abolition of Man is my favorite in his non-fiction. Both deplore the abject corruption and death spiral of modern academia on the altar of scientific materialism and Nietzschen trans-humanism (the deification of man over God by self-styled intellectuals who think that good and evil are obsolete concepts).

What is so remarkable is that he predicted all of this back in the 1940s.

Yes, his foresight was telling. In 1959, Lewis penned a sequel essay to, "Screwtape Letters," titled, "Screwtape Proposes a Toast."

It is pretty much a direct indictment of much of what is wrong with public schools in 2014...

Yup, ‘That Hideous Strength’ is pretty much right on the nose for today’s culture.

Here’s an essay Gene Wolfe wrote about Tolkien, I guess he wrote the prof a letter in the 60’s and he wrote back. Pretty cool stuff.
