Other Worlds - Sci-fi and Fantasy Fiction in New Zealand

Science fiction hasn’t always got the respect it deserves in Aotearoa New Zealand, even if one of our prime ministers – Julius Vogel – wrote it. Danyl McLauchlan talks to two writers and an Arts Practice Director about how in times like these sci-fi can bring answers in through the back door long before science comes in the front. Hear from Gina Cole, author of Na Viro; Malcolm Burgess, Arts Practice Director - Literature at Creative New Zealand; and Ryan Cahill, self-published fantasy author of his debut series The Bound and The Broken.
