Spraycar, Rudy S. "C. S. Lewis's Mechanical Fiends in That Hideous Strength." TMG [19]-26.[1]

"The target of Lewis's satire is not . . . science or even scientists, but the bureaucracy that would reorder and control" science, scientists, and humanity generally, with the Head of Alcasan and "the hyperrational Pragmatometer" (21) as appropriate symbols or correlates for that bureaucratic mindset.
