\n\tFrom 1980 to 1988 he studied industrial electronics at the Tallinn Institute of Technology. From 1982 to 1984 he performed his military service. He has worked in jobs associated with information technology at the Institute of Cybernetics, the company Eesti Telekom, the Estonian Business School, the State Forestry Centre, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

\n\tSiim Veskimees is the pseudonym under which he started writing in 1999 for the science fiction journal Algernon<\/i>, and since then he has published novels, short works and stories. Veskimees is a prolific author. Since 1999 he has published, in addition to his 13 novels, more than thirty stories and two collections of stories. The style of his science fiction is lively, but often satirical and cutting. Characteristic is the author\u2019s concern for humanity and for the course Estonia is taking. Regardless of their serious themes, there is a sprightly humour in his works. In terms of genre Siim Veskimees classifies himself under hard science fiction.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2008 Siim Veskimees established a collaboration with the T\u00e4heveski and Fantaasia publishing companies by publishing the \u2018S\u00fcndmuste horisont\u2019 (Horizon of Events) series, concentrating on science fiction.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
