It seems C. S. Lewis had a conversation with J. R. R. Tolkien about dehumanizing trends in science fiction, and he decided to write Out of the Silent Planet as a result of that conversation. He agreed to write a book about space travel, and Tolkien one about time travel. Tolkien never finished his.
