Long before Orwell's 1984, there was The Iron Heel.
In this haunting dystopian novel, Jack London imagines a grim future where an oppressive oligarchy-The Iron Heel-crushes democracy and wages war against the working class. Through the voice of Avis Everhard, we follow the rise of her revolutionary husband and the brutal struggle to resist a system built on surveillance, manipulation, and brute force.
Written in 1908, The Iron Heel is startlingly prophetic. It explores themes of political resistance, social inequality, and state control-anticipating real-world events like fascism, corporatocracy, and revolutionary movements. This edition includes historical notes and analysis to help modern readers fully appreciate London's radical vision.
