And during the course her ideology is exposed as right and proper lunacy, for those who weren't quite aware yet for whatever reason. Maybe they got lost in her terribly unwieldy books.
Not many people idolise a sociopath and cold-blooded savage murderer, for exactly the reason they were that sort of person no less.
What did Rand admire so much about Hickman? His sociopathic qualities: "Other people do not exist for him, and he does not see why they should," she wrote, gushing that Hickman had "no regard whatsoever for all that society holds sacred, and with a consciousness all his own. He has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel 'other people.'"
This echoes almost word for word Rand's later description of her character Howard Roark, the hero of her novel The Fountainhead : "He was born without the ability to consider others." (The Fountainhead is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' favorite book -- he even requires his clerks to read it.)

Objectivism is an important philosophy to consider and ultimately reject.
