From Narnia To Space Odyssey

From Narnia To A Space Odyssey is the dialogue—through fiction, non-fiction, and correspondence—in which Arthur C. Clarke and C. S. Lewis debate, discuss, and consider the great hope and potential dangers of the rise of technology. Their encounter sets the stage for a question we face today: Is technology the beauty that will lead to a more utopian society, or is it the beast that endangers our humanity and spirit?
