S. Spencer Baker

S. Spencer Baker (Steve) was born in September 1956 in Nottingham, England. He fled formal education and family at 17 and refused to ever return to either. He spent many years exploiting the intellectual property of others, first by setting up an indie record label which failed, and then a management company that struggled for far too long before finally finding international success and then a design, film and advertising company which, after a shaky start, thrived in Europe, the US, and Japan. He woke up one morning in Tokyo and remembered that his childhood dream was to write Science Fiction.

Ten years later, Steve published his first novel Slabscape: Reset. The novel is a web-back; a work of fiction which is published in printed as well as e-book format with addenda, back-stories and tangentially linked information available through an online wiki: Slabscapedia.

The second book in the series, Slabscape: Dammit was published in Kindle format in November 2014. The paperback followed six months later. Dammit extends the webback concept with a few more surprises 'hidden' online.

Both of the first two books in the series have been awarded Amazon Best Seller status.

The third book in the series, Slabscape: Reboot, was published on Kindle on 21st December 2020. The paperback may follow later, or book four (Slabscape: Blocks) may come first on the Kindle before either go to print. Ask Schrödinger, he knows.

The first three books in the Slabscape series are available in audiobook format.
