What exactly is science fiction, and how can it help us make sense of global problems we face in day-to-day life?

In this episode, Dr Miriam Elin Jones, in conversation with Elin Rhys, discusses her interest in science fiction, and how what could potentially be seen as an antithesis to Welsh- language culture, explores many relevant and pressing concerns, such as language death and a minority language’s uneasy relationship with technology.
