Books

I have written seven books on future studies, computing and organizations, the most recent of which is 25 Things You Need to Know About the Future, published by Constable & Robinson in 2012. This deals with many of the challenges and technologies covered on this site -- plus a whole lot more! -- and was reviewed by New Scientist as a "worthwhile read for anyone curious to know what may await us".

My second most recent book is A Brief Guide to Cloud Computing, published by Constable & Robinson in 2010. As the title implies, this is an introduction to cloud computing, and was reviewed by New Scientist as "bringing admirable clarity to this thoroughly nebulous topic". The International Journal of Information Management also called the book a "must include text" for "courses associated with Business Computing, Web Technologies or Global Information Management". The book has also been translated into Korean.

Three of my books -- Cyber Business (John Wiley & Sons, 1995), Challenging Reality (John Wiley & Sons, 1997) and Valueware (Praeger, 1999) -- formed part of my Future Trilogy. Cyber Business was the first UK e-business book, and was translated into Japanese. Challenging Reality was turned into a TV series in 2009.

Finally, my other two books -- Management Strategy and Information Technology (International Thompson, 1996) and The Computers in Business Blueprint (Blackwell, 1994) -- were business computing textbooks, and are now sadly long out of date. People wishing to keep up to date with many of the topics covered in these books can now read my constantly updated website ExplainingComputers.com.
