# The iron heel

By Jack London.

"The Iron Heel" by Jack London is a dystopian novel published in 1908. It depicts a future America where a rising socialist movement threatens conservative power, prompting the establishment of a brutal oligarchic dictatorship. Told through a manuscript discovered centuries later, the story follows Avis Everhard as she witnesses her husband Ernest's failed struggle against the tyrannical "Iron Heel." This pioneering work of dystopian fiction influenced George Orwell and offered a prophetic warning about fascism's rise. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
