ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I'm Christopher Barnatt, a lecturer and futurist, and Associate Professor of Computing and Future Studies in Nottingham University Business School.

As addition to this website and ExplainingComputers.com, I'm the author of six traditional books on computing and future studies. These include A Brief Guide to Cloud Computing (Robinson, 2010) and my Future Trilogy. One of these books -- Challenging Reality -- is now also a TV series. I am currently writing 25 Things You Need to Know About the Future to be published by Constable & Robinson towards the end of 2011.

I appear regularly on the radio talking about the topics covered on this site. Many of my appearances have been on the Morning Show with Frances Finn on BBC Radio Nottingham. You can read more about this on my BBC Nottingham Profile Page. In 2008 and 2009 I also did nine interviews on Kerrang! Radio's epic The Night Before with Nick Margerrison.

I also fairly recently acted as a consultant to Discovery Channel in the production of Helium3Game.com.

Oh, and you can follow me on Twitter. What fun!
