Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson: Sci-Fi's New Heroes

Travelling through time, dismantling space empires, and saving the world: just a few of the things Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson’s characters get up to in her epic space opera, The Principle of Moments. As the inaugural winner of the Future Worlds Prize for Fantasy & Science Fiction Writers of Colour, her explosive writing takes the genre in a whole new direction. Today, she speaks about her debut novel with Jess Brough.
