The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908. Generally considered to be the earliest of the modern Dystopian, it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. The novel is based on the Everhard Manuscript written by Avis Everhard which she hid and which was subsequently found centuries later. In addition, this novel has an introduction and series of (often lengthy) footnotes written from the perspective of scholar Anthony Meredith. Meredith writes from around 2600 AD or 419 B.O.M. (the Brotherhood of Man). Jack London writes at two levels, often having Meredith condescendingly correcting the errors of Everhard yet, at the same time, exposing the often incomplete understanding of this distant future perspective.
