I finally bought "The Iron Heel" by Jack London...

to almost complete my dystopia collection...

Has anyone else read it? What do you think? How does it match to "1984", "Brave New World". etc?

I still need to get "We" by ?..

are there any other good classic dystopias out there? :shrug:

1. We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin

Haven't read London's book, though I've always wanted to.

2. Get ready for a description of the World as it is today.

Great book! Read it in high school during the 60's.

3. I'm ashamed to admit it

But I haven't read it yet. Let me know what you think. Maybe you can loan me your copy when you're done. :-)
