S.Spencer Baker (1956~2106) fled formal education and family at the age of seventeen and refused to ever return to either. He spent a subjectively interminable, but retrospectively finite amount of time learning how to exploit the intellectual property of others until he re-remembered that his childhood obsession was to create his own intellectual property and get other people to exploit it on his behalf. Somewhere around the beginning of that seriously weird century that began inauspiciously in 2001, he started creating the not-at-all-weird universe of Slabscape. By 2011 he had published his first science fiction novel; Slabscape: Reset - a webback (being backed up by information, back-stories, glossaries and complete irrelevancies in an online resource at http://slabscapedia.com). By the end of 2020, he had published two more novels in the series: Slabscape: Dammit and Slabscape: Reboot. A compendium of the first three books along with a contemporary text dump of the ever-expanding Slabscapedia entitled; Slabscape: Thank Dice That's Over (The Doorstop Slab) had been planned, but the fourth in the series, Slabscape: Blocks, took precedent. Audio versions of the first three books were released in 2021 while the world waited with barely discernible impatience to find out whether Slab had survived its return journey to the absolute centre of nowhere. Baker chose to go ahead on September 4th 2106 at the exact time that Slab departed/will have departed/is going to depart Earth Orbit. This biography © 43016 Blip Books (Home asynchronology).
