“That Hideous Strength” came first, written during the WWII years and published in 1945.

Very prescient novel.

The left has become the industrial-military-informational complex.

As with all the ways you can travel, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. People are generally good but lazy and and allow the good intentions to while wearing their blinders to the other dangers to their decisions. Thus the the perils and outcome in the book The Road To Serfdom are never heeded until it’s too late.
And the cause of many of these problems:
Narcissistic and/or delusional omnipresent politicians rarely take into account second or third and never forth effects of their decisions, unless their decision was bad, then they blame everyone else why they didn’t tell them of the other consequences.

I have long assumed that Satan choreographed that somehow in order to obscure Lewis’ demise.

Lewis told his biographer that he considered Perelandra to be his best book but That Hideous Strength to be his favorite.
