Marilyn Carr’s resume is mostly distinguished by too many hours spent in frequent flyer lounges. She is astonished that, as a management consultant and software industry analyst, people actually believed what she said. She has authored hundreds of pieces of business writing, including eBooks for software giants like Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, which have been downloaded many thousands of times, even though none of them is very funny. As a keynote speaker, she has entertained and enlightened audiences at international conferences on topics like how to avoid fatal accidents on the information highway and how to become a software billionaire (hint: start with at least two billion). Marilyn is a class of 2020 MFA graduate from the University of King’s College, her third master’s degree, but who's counting? (She is.)  She blogs about the absurdness of everyday life at www.marilyncarr.com, Her first book, Nowhere like This Place: Tales from a Nuclear Childhood was released in November 2020. The next installment of her memoirs, How I Invented the Internet, will be published in the fall of 2021.
