Ep 34 - We are in Hot Water

In this bonus episode, we continue our conversation with limnologist and cli-fi author Nina Munteanu. We discuss her book A Diary in the Age of Water and what led her to write this dystopian tale of a future that revolves around water scarcity. Nina's background as a limnologist gives her a unique perspective on the challenges that await us if we do not address climate change.
