Mandy Hager's new science fiction novel
How do you convince an alien species that humans deserve to live? And what if you're starting to doubt they do? That simple but terrifying premise is at the centre of a new science fiction novel from New Zealand author Mandy Hager. It's Hager's 23rd book, and set in 2297, on an Earth devastated by climate catastrophe. The title of the book is Lifted and it officially launches in Wellington at Unity Books on Thursday night, but we thought we'd get in a couple of days early and speak to Mandy, who joins me now.
