Victor Rousseau 
Messiah of the Cylinder [EPUB ebook] 

In his book The Messiah of the Cylinder Victor Rousseau equates scientific advancement and the secularization of society with corruption, hedonistic excess, eugenics, and tyranny. He goes as far as disparaging democracy itself as a governmental form, preferring a monarchal form with the strong moral influence of the Christian church and a healthy respect for aged traditions. Rousseau describes some entertaining ray-gun technology based upon new colors in the visible spectrum, and ambitious architecture in the soulless-megalith sense. (Goodreads)
