Steve Aylett was born in 1967 in Bromley, United Kingdom.
Steve left school at the age of seventeen.
Since 1994 Steve Aylett worked as a writer. Steve also worked in a book warehouse, then Aylett worked in trade and law publishing. He also toured in the "Shroud" show, as a silent impersonator of the Shroud of Turin.
Steve is an author of novels, incuding "The Crime Studio. Serif" (1994), "Slaughtermatic" (1997), "Shamanspace. Codex" (2001), "Dummyland. Gollancz" (2002), "Karloff's Circus.

Steve is renowned for his colorful satire attacking the manipulations of authority, for creating many epigrams and for his non-neurotypical characters who do not react as expected. Aylett's "Slaughtermatic" was shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award in 1998. Steve Aylett was a winner of the Jack Trevor Story Award in 2006.
When Aylett worked in trade and law publishing, he invented the concept of ‘fractal litigation’, whereby the flapping of a butterfly’s wings on one side of the world results in a massive compensation claim on the other.

Quotations:
"Organised religion added Jesus to the food groups," or "Pause any country and you'll spot subliminal torture in the frame."
"I enjoy parody and stupid stuff, but more often than not I'll use it as a housing for old-time satire, politics and bitter axe-grinding. That thing about authority was about the fact that authority is actually quite arbitrary, and doesn't manifest any inherent quality. Traced to its root it's the result of luck, happenstance, crime and the sustaining of a set-up over many years as people hold on to power. It has no moral weight that stands up to a moment's scrutiny and is enforced by the threat of violence. Reduced to its constituent atoms authority doesn't really mean anything. It's all just people."
"I certainly don’t think in words. I’m not sure that anyone does. Does anyone really think in sentences, like in films when you see someone thinking and you hear a voice-over? I don’t anyway, I see stuff visually, as shapes, colours, textures and mechanisms sort of hanging there in space. If there’s a hole in someone’s argument I visually see a hole in it, in the armature and mass of the thing. I’ll see the shape of a whole book that way before it’s written, and so far, the books have all ended up the way I saw them originally."
