Jack London wrote The Iron Heel in 1908 to explore the rise of authoritarianism and the suppression of democratic ideals through a gripping dystopian narrative. He used speculative fiction not just to entertain, but to critique capitalism and warn readers about the dangers of unchecked corporate and political power. By crafting a futuristic world dominated by an oppressive oligarchy, London called on readers to consider the fragility of freedom and the urgent need for social resistance.
En The Iron Heel, London tells the story through the eyes of Avis Everhard, the wife of a revolutionary leader, Ernest Everhard. Avis recounts the couple’s struggle against a brutal regime known as the Oligarchy, or “Iron Heel,” which uses force, propaganda, and economic control to crush labor movements and democratic reform. London portrays a chillingly realistic progression from social unrest to totalitarian control, emphasizing how systemic inequality enables tyranny to flourish when ordinary people fail to act.
Rather than presenting a hopeful vision of revolution, London highlights the long, painful arc of resistance. He sets the story in a future where historians piece together Avis’s manuscript, suggesting that the fight against oppression spans generations. With its sharp political commentary and bleak realism, The Iron Heel stands as an early and influential work of dystopian fiction, foreshadowing later classics like Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Un mundo feliz.
