"Iron Heel" by Jack London is a social prediction novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of class struggle and political upheaval, examining the conflict between the ruling oligarchy and the working class in a dystopian future. The main characters include Avis Everhard, who reflects on the societal chaos and the legacy of her revolutionary husband, Ernesto Everhard, as they anticipate impending conflict and revolution. At the start of the narrative, the setting is marked by a serene but foreboding atmosphere, with Avis, the protagonist, feeling a deep unease amidst the peaceful surroundings. This initial tension reflects her awareness of an inevitable disaster, linked to her memories of her deceased husband, Ernesto, a passionate revolutionary. The opening reveals her determination to honor his legacy by preparing for an uprising against the oppressive forces of oligarchy, showcasing her commitment to social justice and solidarity among the working masses as she recalls their past discussions and the heavy toll that societal neglect has taken on individuals like Jackson, a victim of capitalist indifference.
