I wonder if he would have been struck by the interesting fact that Kennedy and Huxley died on the same day?:-)

Given that he didn't have a radio, read the newspaper, or have a television, or go to the cinema, I can guarantee that he wouldn't be available on the internet, would have NO mobile phone, wouldn't play video games (had no top joint in his thumbs anyway, which made him clumsy), would have an imitation firelog gas fire, would not have worn flared trousers in the 70s, would not wear jeans.....

I think he'd be sorely disappointed in our youth today. I'll bet the consistent use of "like" would probably drive him up the wall too.

If Lewis were alive today he would probably think he had come into the infernal regions. The world is so crazy and has departed so far from what he called the Tao, the universally acknowledged code of ethics common to most cultures that he would be flabberghasted. A lot of the things he wrote about in The Abolition of Man then put into fictionalized form in That Hideous Strength are coming to pass.
