He was inspired by C. S. Lewis' that hideous strength.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that, do we know that definitively? (THS was the only one of the Space Trilogy I never read, I should correct that.)

Orwell reviewed That Hideous Strength and said it had some good points. But it's definitely the weakest in the trilogy, and definitely did not influence 1984 in any obvious way. Still worth reading, though.

It's a very hard read. It took me several times to get into it.

Having read both I can't speak for where Orwell drew inspiration, but I never noticed any similarities
