The Palantir themselves aren’t evil, they were made by the elves long before the events of LOTR. Essentially they are just a tool.

However I heard that Thiels favourite book is the rewrite of LOTR from the perspective of Sauron, where Gandalf and the elves seek to destroy humanity and technology (at least that’s how I understood the gist, haven’t read it)
