From an excerpt about C.S Lewis:
“’Scientists’ as such are not the target [said Lewis]. . . What we are obviously up against throughout the story is not scientists but officials.” This is an important distinction for Lewis. Scientific planning is not necessarily evil, “but ‘Under modern conditions any effective invitation to Hell will certainly appear in the guise of scientific planning’ as Hitler’s regime in fact did.”
“What we are obviously up against throughout the story is not scientists but officials.”
