Gavin Childress imagines how C.S. Lewis’s fictional devil would have used digital technology

Celebrations continued here all night when we heard that your patient at last has devoted himself to our most effective tool to date: the Internet.

It has nothing essentially sinister about it any more than a blank page or a television screen; yet thanks to our modest efforts, and the hearts of men and women, a vast amount of it will serve our interests day and night.
