		<description><![CDATA[Apocalypses aren&#8217;t what they used to be. Thirty years ago, science fiction stories about sentient computers taking over the world tended to imagine them trying to wipe us all out using nuclear bombs (The Terminator, War Games).

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a TV reality show in the US (Same Name) about people with the same name swapping lives. I feel confident that the producers won&#8217;t be calling on me. But a few weeks ago, Google alerted me to the improbable existence of another Ange Mlinko. She is divorced, childless, a bit misanthropic, and pilots a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My parents were science fiction fans in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
