{{quote|''"The idea of other planets exercised upon me then a peculiar, heady attraction, which was quite different from any other of my literary interests. Most emphatically it was not the romantic spell of ''Das Ferne''. "Joy" (in my technical sense) never darted from Mars or the Moon. ... I may add that my own [[Planetary Romance|planetary romances]] have been not so much the gratification of that fierce curiosity as its exorcism. The exorcism worked by reconciling it with, or subjecting it to, the other, the more elusive, and the genuinely imaginative, impulse."''|'''[[C. S. Lewis]]''', ''Surprised By Joy''}}

 

* [[Secret Police]]: The N.I.C.E.'s own forces. Managed to seize control of a college town with only a handful of people realizing it.

* [[Seemingly-Profound Fool]]: The tramp. He gets mistaken for {{spoiler|Merlin}} by the N.I.C.E. and is either too simple or too smart to correct their mistake.

** Lewis also acknowledges his indebtedness to [[Sci Fi]] works such as ''[[The First Men in the Moon]]'' and ''[[A Voyage To Arcturus]].'' Not to mention the [[Adam and Eve Plot]] of ''Perelandra''.

* [[Something Completely Different]]: ''That Hideous Strength''.
