Space Trilogy is also magnificent in it’s own right. As is Screwtape, and pretty much everything else Lewis bothered to write :-)

The final book in the Space Trilogy, That Hideous Strength, is my favorite in his fiction repertoire. The Abolition of Man is my favorite in his non-fiction. Both deplore the abject corruption and death spiral of modern academia on the altar of scientific materialism and Nietzschen trans-humanism (the deification of man over God by self-styled intellectuals who think that good and evil are obsolete concepts).

What is so remarkable is that he predicted all of this back in the 1940s.
