Summary

Before Orwell. Before Huxley. There was Jack London.

The Iron Heel is one of the earliest and most chilling works of dystopian fiction. In this prophetic novel, Jack London imagines a totalitarian future ruled by a brutal corporate oligarchy known as the Oligarchs. Through the eyes of Ernest Everhard and his wife Avis, readers witness the rise of fascism, class warfare, and revolution in a capitalist world gone mad.

Long overlooked, The Iron Heel eerily predicts the tactics of authoritarian regimes, economic inequality, and surveillance long before they became global concerns.

    Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. It presents a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences.
