The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Anthony Meredith, a scholar in about the year 2600 AD (or 419 B.O.M. - the Brotherhood of Man), annotates the "Everhard Manuscript", an account that chronicles the years from 1912 to 1932 when the great "Iron Heel" oligarchy rose to power in the United States.

Review of 'The Iron Heel (The Jack London Series)' on 'Goodreads'

3 étoiles

This is very much a book of two parts. The second part, which deals with a dystopian future history makes for an interesting, and often surprisingly prescient, future history.

However, London spends the first half of the book detailing his opinions and this does get more than a little preachy at times.
