About this book
An oligarchy of trusts takes power in America and holds it for three centuries, and the record of the failed revolt survives as a manuscript with a scholar's footnotes from the far future. London wrote it in 1908; Trotsky and Orwell both took it seriously, and the frame device - annotated document from a later age - has been borrowed ever since. Sixty plates by George Bellows and John Sloan, among others, capture the city crowds and hard faces of the same American decades the novel foretold.
