I've read it pretty recently, but my understanding was that the whole trilogy was just a more approachable version of "Abolition of Man". I could see someone like Orwell agreeing with the problem statement in that book (moral relativity is bad) but disagreeing with the way it plays out in the novel.



THS, specifically, seems to me less about moral relativity and more about coming face to face with a naked Will to Power.
