                     I sent this to follow up with what Lewis said next: " I like bats better than bureaucrats. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin". The greatest evil is not now
done even in concentration camps and labour camps.In those we see its final result. But it
Is conceived and ordered ( moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed,
And well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern."

Relevantly Interesting, yes?
