Best book on alienation but sadly, Hegel is little discussed. Don't think you can understand marx without the evolution of german classical philosophy. Probably should even going further back to Spinoza (wich Hegel claimed necessairy for the start of any serious philosophy)... In Spinoza thought and extension are both substance to a 3rd: Matter. Thought becomes a substance of matter. The starting point-question (as stated here-i.e.actuality) thoroughly discussed in his philosophical matters
