Description

Set in the future, “The Iron Heel” describes a world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a powerful Oligarchy that retains control through terror. A manuscript by rebel Avis Everhard is recovered in an even more distant future, and analyzed by scholar Anthony Meredith. Published in 1908, Jack London’s multi-layered narrative is an early example of the dystopian novel, and its vision of the future proved to be eerily prescient of the violence and fascism that marked the initial half of the 20th century.

Having read other Jack London pieces I thought I might add this to my literacy list. Pleasantly surprised to find it more interesting and entertaining than expected as well as still relevant in many ways and offering worthwhile perspectives and insights into the politics of our own age. It isn't a terribly challenging book and worth reading on at least a few points. If you like Jack London in general you might give it a go. The book being set in a geographic area I know well also shed light on what must be some of the foundations of current political and social thought in the San Francisco Bay area.
