Overview

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? About the Author Editor Ryder W. Miller is a noted commentator and environmental reporter, eco-critic and science writer with a strong interest in space exploration and space policy.
