"A future society on the ruined Earth is divided into two regions: the Vortex and the Outlands, separated by an impenetrable force field. Within the Vortex live the Eternals -- immortal, possessed of high technology and given to a decadent aestheticism -- while in the Outlands dwell the Brutals, including a group called the Exterminators whose job is to keep the population level down." - John Brosnan and Others, SFE (online).
