Jack London's dystopian novel 'The Iron Heel' posits a futuristic world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a menacing oligarchy that rules through terror. Anticipating the science fiction novels of the 1960s and '70s, the book stresses future changes in society and politics while paying less attention to technological details. Much of the narrative is set in the San Francisco Bay Area, including events in San Francisco and Sonoma County.

Autorenporträt
John Griffith Chaney, nascido em São Francisco, no 12 de janeiro de 1876 na Califórnia, morreu a 22 de novembro de 1916 no seu Beauty Ranch. Autor, jornalista e ativista social norte-americano com referências marxistas, pioneiro na sua era, fez então parte do novo mundo das revistas comerciais de ficção, tendo sido um dos primeiros romancistas a obter celebridade mundial através das suas estórias, além de uma grande fortuna. Jack London (seu pseudónimo), é um dos mais importantes marcos da literatura norte-americana do fim do século XIX e princípio do século XX. Escreveu centenas de contos, entre eles alguns visionários e magistrais que marcaram os caminhos da literatura ocidental.
