Steven Popkes

Steven Earl Popkes, born October 9, 1952,[1] is an American science fiction writer living in the Boston area, known primarily for his short fiction. He attended the Clarion Writers Workshop in 1978.[2]

His first story, "A Capella Blues", was published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in May 1982. In the late 1980s, he was involved in the Future Boston collaboration, a project where a number of Boston area science fiction writers contributed stories set in a common future, where the city of Boston is slowly sinking underwater. One of his more acclaimed stories, "The Egg", (Asimov's, January 1989) is set in the future Boston history, and was later incorporated into his short novel Slow Lightning (1991).

His other novel is Caliban Landing (1987).

gollark: > datetimeObviously I already stored that.> can revisions branch like in git?Nope.> tbh why not directly use git?- can't really store/manage structured metadata well- probably annoying to interface with- would require filesystem storage instead of my neat SQLite database thing- apioforms- merge conflicts- likely to end up as a somewhat leaky abstraction
gollark: I'll just leave that constantly as `()`.
gollark: Currently my thing™ just stores the size, which is a vaguely useful metric.
gollark: Vaguely related to that, what sort of metadata should I store with revisions in my single-user wiki thing?
