"I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of 'Admin.' The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint.... My symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern."
- C. S. Lewis, "The Screwtape Letters"

1942!
"That Hideous Strength" (1945)
Written as the 3rd part of the Interplanetary SF Trilogy it can be read stand alone as apocalyptic fantasy (or prophetic?).
The National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E.) is a front for evil supernatural forces.
Mark writes news articles supporting the N.I.C.E., including two for use after a riot they intend to provoke in Edgestow. The riot allows the N.I.C.E.'s private police force to take over the town.
