Lewis wrote That Hideous Strength as a fictional depiction of the ideas developed in The Abolition of Man. It was published in 1945 as the last of the Space Trilogy. The novel explores what the world would be like if it were ruled by a technocratic elite unrestrained by tradition values.

I read that book twice and hated it both times.
I did not like the Perelandra series, much as I like Lewis’s other works.

An excellent book. But it is also about the character and work of Ransom. Space trilogy by Lewis is highly recommended.

A wee bit more.
The leaders of the NICE worship a demon-inhabited decapitated head.
As in literal worship.
