A Violent Socialist Dystopia | The Iron Heel (Jack London) BOOK REVIEW


Listen Later

Future predictions that have NOT come true ..... kind of.


'The Iron Heel' by Jack London is a dystopian novel with a heavy political undertone (maybe even overtone) that wrongly might be called science fiction. Starts in 1900 America and told from the point of view of Avis who is seduced from her privileged upper class world by Ernest Everhard and his socialist philosophy. Increasing tensions occur between the dying middle/lower class and the capitalistic upper class, which results in revolution and an underground war. The Iron Heel oligarchs vs the Revolutionary socialists. 


Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)
