A homeless man drags a giant iron ball chained to his foot through a world where every adult carries one. When his ball suddenly disappears after a shocking act of violence, he discovers a terrifying possibility: perhaps the chains binding humanity are not as inevitable as everyone believes. As his ideas spread across the country, he becomes a symbol of freedom to some, a monster to others, and a threat to those in power. The Iron Ball is a dark philosophical dystopian novel about freedom, power, fear, revolution, and the invisible burdens that shape human lives.
