Description

It all started with a letter, dated December 1943, that began, "I wish to disagree, somewhat violently, with you over a passage on page 43 of Perelandra." The writer was Arthur C. Clarke, later to be renowned as the author of the science-fiction classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the recipient was C.S. Lewis, the premier Christian apologist of the time. Clarke felt that Lewis' description of Professor Weston, the villain of Perelandra, cast an unfair light on science-fiction enthusiasts and space-travel advocates. "I can assure you from personal experiences that most devotees of science fiction are biased far more towards pacifism than militarism," he wrote. "I believe that astronautics more than any other single development will accelerate the coming of age of our species. National rivalries ... will finally appear in their proper perspective when they can be seen against the background of the stars."
