O Brave New World...

I just re-read the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and while Aslan is a Christ figure (duh), it's still a charming story. I've read that the movie dialog is really heavy-handed and awful, but that book isn't. Some of the later books are. I can't remember which one, but the one about "experimental schooling" which does get referenced in the LWW. Prince Casipan is even more strongly anti-education.

The "science fiction" books, though are just awful. Anti-science fiction is a more apt term. Christian hostility to education and science at least makes sense for Lewis. Look at the horrors wrought by industrialization during the war. But now? People must hate and fear their gadgets. Which, might make some sort of sense, if their can't afford them, or if their ipod is making them deaf and disassociating them from everyone and their cellphone is giving them brain tumors.. And the hatred of medical science (and biology) is sort of logical in a place where healthcare is generally unaffordable and doctors are arrogant, rude fuckwads who do nothing for you while substantially lightening your wallet. Maybe it all boils down to class issues.
