The Iron Heel
About this book
What if the future belonged to tyranny—and the people had to fight for every shred of freedom?
The Iron Heel (1908), by Jack London, is a groundbreaking dystopian novel that anticipates the rise of totalitarian regimes decades before their time.
Told through the manuscript of Avis Everhard, the wife of revolutionary leader Ernest Everhard, the novel chronicles the brutal suppression of workers by a ruthless oligarchy known as the "Iron Heel." As democracy crumbles, corporations and elites seize absolute power, plunging society into oppression, class warfare, and rebellion.
Part political prophecy, part human drama, London's novel blends thrilling narrative with sharp social critique. Its unflinching vision of economic inequality, authoritarianism, and resistance makes it one of the earliest and most influential works of dystopian literature—an ancestor to Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.
Both prophetic and unsettling, The Iron Heel remains a powerful reminder of the dangers of unchecked power.
