On this episode, we sit down with author Yume Kitasei to chat about her latest novel,&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/saltcrop-a-novel-yume-kitasei/1b4c4b26feb95ee9?ean=9781250380968&next=t&aid=11692&listref=author-interviews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saltcrop</a>, 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.
