Technocracy is a war against humanity and has always been seen that way by critics such as C.S. Lewis. Like him or not, Lewis fully described the future as early as 1947. Technocracy was the most dangerous meme of the 20th century and it has advanced into a clear and present danger today. ⁃ TN Editor
Another great English writer during this same period who also discussed these matters was C. S. Lewis. In a number of books and articles he warned about where we were heading, as new technologies, coupled with increased statism, spelt “the abolition of man”.
And that was the title of his 1947 book. In it, he said this: “What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.” He continued, “Man’s conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man’s side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.”
