Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Iron Heel is a Jack London novel published in 1908. It can be considered more or less interchangeably as a dystopia (or negative utopia), a uchronia, science fiction. "The Iron Heel" is the name given by the revolutionary worker Ernest Everhard to the government that the Industrial Oligarchy built in the 20th century. In history at the end of the 19th century, the large industrial corporations have been creating monopolies in strategic industries (the post, the railways, etc.), until they became a kind of superior and impenetrable social class, well protected by their control of the Government, the police, the army and the courts of law. In this context, the workers try to organize themselves to take political action against the Senate. In response, the Iron Heel prepares a fraudulent attack in the United States Congress.Through which they can initiate vigorous repression, and practically abolish democracy. The workers organize for a vigorous resistance, in the form of a systematic worldwide strike, which paralyzes all services, including communications, and thus leaves the oligarchs defenseless. These, in response, create squads of Mercenaries that work as paramilitary forces, and that are dedicated to subduing the peasant and rebel workers.

Jack London's The Iron Heel tells the story of an oligarchic tyrant's rise in the United States. First published in 1908, the book created great controversy for the author as many were upset by his socialist views being on display throughout the volume. An unusual novel for London's canon and the time period in general, the novel features a first-person narrative of a woman protagonist, suggests socialist methods for social reform, and is one of the frontrunners of soft science fiction texts. Telling the story of Avis Everhard and her husband, Ernest, the novel follows the rise of the "Iron Heel" oligarchy in America from 1912 to 1932. During this time, Japan conquered East Asia and created its own empire, India gained independence, and Europe became largely socialist. The Iron Heel builds a utopia-like city named Asgard. Avis and Ernest, along with other rebels in the Brotherhood of Man, revolt against the government and wreak havoc on Asgard multiple times, but to no avail. After the deaths of Avis and Ernest, another narrator, Anthony Meredith, concludes the novel by informing readers that the Iron Heel remained in power for another three centuries.

When summer came on, he elected to sweat out a hot and dusty existence in the city and to toil incessantly. Had it not been my custom to run up to see him every Saturday afternoon and to stop over till Monday morning, this particular January Monday morning would not have found me afloat on San Francisco Bay. Not but that I was afloat in a safe craft, for the _Martinez_ was a new ferry-steamer, making her fourth or fifth trip on the run between Sausalito and San Francisco. The danger lay in the heavy fog which blanketed the bay, and of which, as a landsman, I had little apprehension. In fact, I remember the placid exaltation with which I took up my position on the forward upper deck, directly beneath the pilot-house, and allowed the mystery of the fog to lay hold of my imagination. A fresh breeze was blowing, and for a time I was alone in the moist obscurity—yet not alone, for I was dimly conscious of the presence of the pilot, and of what I took to be the captain, in the glass house above my head. I remember thinking how comfortable it was, this division of labour which made it unnecessary for me to study fogs, winds, tides, and navigation, in order to visit my friend who lived across an arm of the sea....
