Hi, I'm Christopher Barnatt -- a futurist, author, videographer, 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 seven books on future studies and computing. These include 25 Things You Need to Know About the Future (Robinson, 2012), 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 have made more than 60 appearances on the radio talking about the topics covered on this site. Many of my appearances have been on BBC Radio Nottingham. You can read more about this on my BBC Nottingham Profile Page. I have also been interviewed on 16 other BBC local radio stations spanning from Jersey to Scotland. In 2008 and 2009 I appeared many times on Kerrang! Radio's epic The Night Before with Nick Margerrison.

I also acted as a consultant to Discovery Channel in the production of Helium3Game.com, am a member of the World Future Society, and since 2006 have contributed to the Clore Leadership Programme. I also work with Dutch futurist Marcel Bullinga of Futurecheck. Recent clients have also included ConsumerEyes and Holland Centraal.

Oh, and you can follow me on Twitter.
