After the floods and the wave of terrorist attacks came The Authority. Britain is a broken nation, dependent on a fundamentalist America for food and energy. Agriculture has collapsed. People eat from tins donated by religious aid agencies and live, Soviet-style, crammed together in elevated urban areas unaffected by the floods. Industry stutters on and people work long shifts on assembly lines, producing industrial goods they know will never be used. Procreation is severely regulated. Women are compulsorily fitted with contraceptive coils, permitted to remove them only if their name is drawn in the Baby Lottery, a grotesque parody of the draft lotteries in America during the Vietnam War.
