Opinion | This C.S. Lewis Novel Helps Explain the Weirdness of 2023
Briefly

Recently I reread C.S. Lewis's 1945 novel, That Hideous Strength, the last book in his Space Trilogy, and since I wrote about aliens last weekend it seems like a good week to talk a little bit about the novel's contemporary relevance.For those who haven't read it, the book is a curious hybrid, mixing the anti-totalitarian style of dystopia familiar from Lewis's contemporaries like George Orwell and Aldous Huxley with a blend of supernaturalism and science fiction that anticipates Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, among other works.
