The Dyson brothers are an
unlikely bunch. There's Freeman, the eminent mathematician and physicist who
says that any long lived industrialised civilisation will end up completely
enclosing its home star with solar collectors and habitats. His younger brother
Miles developed an autonomous artificial intelligence which ran amok and
overthrew humanity, at least until John Connor's resistance movement sent
soldiers and machines back in time to sabotage the development. Two of the
brothers are called James. One of them works in Customer Service with a friend
of mine, the other developed a bagless Hoover and got a cushy position as a
government advisor after he moved all his manufacturing to China.
My favourite is Freeman.

actually brothers" B
