Marshall Brain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marshall David Brain (b. 1961) is the founder of HowStuffWorks. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he was a member of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity. Brain went on to receive a master's degree in computer science from North Carolina State University (NCSU). Before founding HowStuffWorks, Marshall taught in the computer science department at NCSU and ran a software training and consulting company.

He also maintains a website with, among others, essays on transhumanism and robots and an online science-fiction novel on that topic, Manna. Brain argues in his new Robot Nation series that automation will lead to structural unemployment, requiring a guaranteed basic income.^[1]

His websites Why won't God Heal Amputees? and God is Imaginary were created to explore monotheistic religions and especially Christianity.

He currently resides in Cary with his wife and four children. He serves on the North Carolina advisory board of DonorsChoose.
