The Iron Heel

The Iron Heel is a rather unusual and captivating dystopian novel dedicated to the near future of the United States and the planet Earth as a whole at the time of its publication in 1908. Like no other masters of the dystopian and even utopian genre, London failed to accurately predict the future. However, much of what he wrote in the novel came true — including giant corporations swallowing small and medium businesses, the very idea of corporate culture, world wars with Germany, and even... 1917 as a date of a powerful social explosion.
