The Mapmakers of Society - The Beginnings of a Scientific Dictatorship

The Mapmakers of Society: "'If the fully planned and conditioned world comes into existence... the restive species [humanity]... will be vexed no longer by its chatter for truth and mercy and beauty and happiness... if the eugenics are efficient enough there will be no second revolt, but all snug beneath the Conditioners, and the Conditioners beneath her, till the moon falls or the sun grows cold.' -- C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man, 1944"
