Schafer, Steve
Entry updated 10 March 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author whose first novel, The Border (2017), is a non-fantastic Young-Adult thriller set along the Mexican-American border; he is of sf interest for his second novel, eMortal (2024), whose brilliant young-adult protagonist upcodes an AI-powered Android into something like Superman. He is also sensitive, self-conscious, and determined to dodge the mandatory cessation of the instruction matrix that constitutes the skeleton of his being once he has successfully passed five tests that reflect the five stages of cognitive development developed by the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) in The Language and Thought of the Child (1923).
