From Amazon:
“In 1962, the young Eugene Rose undertook to write a monumental chronicle of the abandonment of Truth in the modern age. Of the hundreds of pages of material he compiled for this work, only the present essay has come down to us in completed form. Here Eugene reveals the core of all modern thought and life–the belief that all truth is relative–and shows how this belief has been translated into action in our century. Today, three decades after he wrote it, this essay is surely timelier than ever. It clearly explains why contemporary ideas, values, and attitudes–the “spirit of the age”–are shifting so rapidly in the direction of moral anarchy, as the philosophy of Nihilism enters more deeply into the fiber of society. Nietzsche was right when he predicted that the 20th century would usher in “the triumph of Nihilism.”
Indeed, the Christian is–in an ultimate sense–a “Nihilist”; to him, in the end, the world is nothing, and God is all. On the one hand, the true Nihilist places his faith in things that pass away and end in nothing. On the other hand, the Christian, renouncing such vanity, places his faith in the one thing that will not pass away, the Kingdom of God.”

My goodness this is the most prescient and accurate diagnosis of Nihilism I have come across. If it was written today it would be astounding. But coming from Fr. Seraphim Rose nearly 50 years ago it is uncanny. Completely floored.
"To substitute man's normal stability
and rootedness with senseless quest for power and movement
and to replace normal human feeling with nervous excitability. "
It seems that the goal has been achieved with the creation of smartphones and social media. The endless stream of random dopamine arousing information, whether visual or written which almost exclusively is consumed for the lust of the flesh.
