Brilliant. I read That Hideous Strength when I was maybe 16 or 18. Back then I saw it as great Sci-Fi / Fantasy. I had no clue of the implications going on - the sinister Tavistock Institute and so on. As you say, very real implications for the future... certainly our time. In the end, these technocrats can't leave well alone, they have an innate urge to shepherd humanity towards a far better future - which always turns out to be hellish. It's the conceit of the human I think... which works via a mix of internal dialog and emotions, a feedback loop... as they likely have no conscious awareness or what I call "higher I" they are about as aware as a Jerry Springer guest was, just a more "upmarket" demographic. That to me is the issue of the human species.
If you want to go down the rabbit hole further, google "hitler self portrait bridge" Hitler was probably programmed by the Tavistock clinic, during the end of and post WWI . That bridge is very unique, it is postbridge near Tavistock on Dartmoor.
Francis Drake (Draco/Dragon) was a son of Tavistock and is reputed to return in 'endtimes' to save Albion, you just have to beat his drum, which is saved for the purpose.
One odd thing probably not relevant is the sheep on the crest of Tavistock, if the go to St Augustine fort in Florida you will see the same motif.
Amazing the parallels between what Lewis describes in "That Hideous Strength" and what we see happening today in the aspirations and machinations of the Davos crowd!
Yes, but it's not only that the parallels are amazing but that what was "hideous" then is a direct continuation of the same perversions in the name of science that we are witnessing today; it's the same nefarious actors at work only using modern technocratic means but with the same goals...all in the guise of creating a better humanity but in reality destroying what makes each of us uniquely human...
There is a later work by Charles Dickens that addresses this theme in, of course, a Dickensian way. The book is called “Little Dorit”. Dickens point, if I may paraphrase, is that all this talk of some, an accumulated “red tape” in bureaucracies is not some accidental equivalent of the accumulation of barnacles on the body of the state, by is there by design. It is there to stifle and control all progress. It is there to make sure that nothing ever develops that would benefit all of mankind. Progress is meant for the benefit of that small clique that runs and controls everything, and is to be implemented as such for that purpose alone.
Brilliant...C.S.Lewis clearly saw the evolving "elite" long in advance, from his experiences at Oxford and later Cambridge....In the US, it's Harvard, Yale and Princeton who have been calling the shots for the dystopian social engineering....
"Satanism is not a 'belief in Satan' but the false pursuit to self-deify oneself." (Dr.Taylor Marshall in "Antichrist and Apocalypse") Your insightful analysis illuminates these "social workers" for the wannabe "gods" they imagined their roles to be; undoubtedly today's descendants think and behave in the same manner and have the same goal of the one world order, with, of course, as the elites in total control.
here's an interview with a man w first hand knowledge / evidence of massive, methodical, coordinated collusion of various "non profit" organizations such Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Endowmt, Guggenheim Fellowships, etc colluding in Tavistock style social engineering to deliberately undermine and repurpose the entire American educational system as well as rewrite the historical narrative of the US
Great book, very prescient re: transhumanism w/ the floating head at the end, for example. Best of the trilogy by a longshot too, imo. Only one that really took place on Earth. I think I gave my copy away, should rebuy it at some point.
Thanks for your review of this important SciFi series. That Hideous Strength is an amazing book and way ahead of its time in predicting - along with Orwell - the technology based deep state, or the "Technofeudalism" as Yanis Yaroufakis calls it. The "head" is a spooky character. It would make a great movie. Of course there are important themes addressed as Cynthia explains. The entry of Merlin is a nice element tied to the concept of an ancient original and still living England, or "Loeggers". Nigel Farage would do well to read both Lewis' novel and Cynthia's commentry.

Brilliant and insightful analysis, as usual!
Thanks Cynthia. Fascinating post on so many levels.
👏👏👏
