Voltaire's Bastards is an awesome read provided you disregard the entire "reason" premise. I know that sounds odd but JRS essentially wrote a book renouncing all the structural evils of our society in which he somehow manages to repeatedly scapegoat reason, probably in some attempt to seem overly insightful. Just disregard the whole "dictatorship of reason in the west" premise and view it as more of a manufacturing consent type historical/economic analysis.
