Marc Weinreich

If you handed most people Marc's résumé, they'd assume it belonged to at least five different people. New York dancer. Humanities professor. Environmental lawyer. Co-founder of a company where he spent 20 years cleaning up some of America's most spectacularly toxic messes. Salt Lake City Yoga and Megaformer studio owner. Banjo player. And now — novelist. Somehow, it all fits.

Marc's path to fiction is anything but straight — and that's exactly what makes him worth reading. Before he ever put a fictional A.I. judge on the page, he spent years in the academy, teaching Humanities at Columbia University and Pace University while earning his M.A. and M.Phil. Those years left their mark: readers of The Case of the Protesting Cows may catch the occasional glimmer of a scholar who never entirely left the building.

He then traded the lectern for the law, joined a large firm, and eventually co-founded a company that would define the next quarter century of his career. For 20+ years, he co-managed an enterprise that served as court-appointed Environmental Response Trustee at the request of the United States and 30 states — taking title to, investigating, remediating, and returning to productive use some of the most contaminated sites in the country. It is serious, consequential work, and the shadow it casts falls quietly over The Case of the Ungrateful Tenants, where those hard-won encounters with the darker side of industrial legacy quietly surface.

Closer to home in Salt Lake City, Marc co-founded and co-owns two businesses recognized among the Best of Utah in fitness: Salt Lake Power Yoga and Peak-45. It will come as little surprise, then, that The Case of the Red Neck Asana Master draws on his deep familiarity with yoga culture — though he is quick to note that nothing remotely resembling the case's events has ever unfolded on the mats at SLPY.

And then there is the banjo. Marc is a player, and when the story called for it, he answered — composing the Ballad for the Judge that closes the book. (Curious readers can find a recording on YouTube.) It is a fittingly unconventional flourish for a writer who came to the form with a lifetime of unconventional experiences behind him.

For readers who want to understand what moved him to write Robot Justice in the first place, Marc has included his Reflections on the Book at its close. It is, like the man himself, worth the read.
