Jack London's The Iron Heel tells the story of an oligarchic tyrant's rise in the United States. First published in 1908, the book created great controversy for the author as many were upset by his socialist views being on display throughout the volume. An unusual novel for London's canon and the time period in general, the novel features a first-person narrative of a woman protagonist, suggests socialist methods for social reform, and is one of the frontrunners of soft science fiction texts. Telling the story of Avis Everhard and her husband, Ernest, the novel follows the rise of the "Iron Heel" oligarchy in America from 1912 to 1932. During this time, Japan conquered East Asia and created its own empire, India gained independence, and Europe became largely socialist. The Iron Heel builds a utopia-like city named Asgard. Avis and Ernest, along with other rebels in the Brotherhood of Man, revolt against the government and wreak havoc on Asgard multiple times, but to no avail. After the deaths of Avis and Ernest, another narrator, Anthony Meredith, concludes the novel by informing readers that the Iron Heel remained in power for another three centuries.

This is an annotated edition. First distributed in 1907, "The Iron Heel" is Jack London's dystopian novel about the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. Showing the communist perspectives that were held by London himself and that were pervasive toward the start of the twentieth century, "The Iron Heel" recounts to the account of occasions far later on when a little, rich class crushes out the middle class and effectively rules with brutality for three centuries until a revolution ushers in a new era called the "Brotherhood of Man". The novel is set fundamentally around the San Francisco Bay Area and is told as a rediscovered tragically deceased original copy written by a lady named Avis Everhard, who gives up her privileged life to join the obstruction and oust the abusive system. As significant a commentary today as when it was first composed, London's novel was far ahead of its time and is to a great extent credited with inspiring George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four". "The Iron Heel" is a chilling depiction of a potential future world and a great work on the class battle which has overwhelmed the vast majority of mankind's history.
