On this episode, we sit down with author Yume Kitasei to chat about her latest novel, Saltcrop (https://bookshop.org/p/books/saltcrop..., a science fiction story about three sisters who grew up in a near future Earth after an ecological collapse changed the world. When the eldest sister goes missing while working for a megacorporation (because capitalism persists even after the end of the world), the younger two set off on a dangerous trip across the seas to find her.
