Episode Description from the Publisher

Historically pride was called the queen of vices for a reason. What does it have to do with the relationship breakdown in modern society, modern tech advancement, and the destruction of the natural world? Everything. In this episode, Liberty reviews a 1945 science fiction novel—That Hideous Strength—in which C.S. Lewis imagined many of the problems we are seeing play out in the modern world. But for the final installment in what has been called the Space Trilogy, Lewis’s approach is surprisingly down-to-earth.
