Dr. THOMAS RAMGE

Thank you for your interest in my work.

I am a non-fiction writer and keynote speaker.

My books explore the impact of innovation and technology on business and society, on policy-making and our planet.

My essays and long-reads are being published in Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Foreign Affairs, The Economist, FAZ and Die Zeit, among others.

I am Fellow at Einstein Center Digital Future in Berlin and I have been honored with several publishing awards, including the German Essay Prize 2022, the Axiom Business Book Award 2019, the getAbstract International Book Award 2018, the Financial Times Business Book Award, the Herbert Quandt Media Award, the ADC Award and the Best of Corporate Publishing Award.

Over the past 15 years, I have written about 20 books, including the Spiegel bestseller The Flicks, the handbooks In Data We Trust and Smart Data and, together with Erik Spiekermann, a bestselling book on Design Thinking. In 2014 I published my first novel about the good life (and the bad life) in large corporations.

Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data, which I co-authored with Oxford professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, has been translated into 20 languages and has stimulated a worldwide debate on data monopolies. Who’s Afraid of AI, a short and comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence, hit the shelves in 2019. If you like infographics please check out The Global Economy as You’ve Never Seen It (co-authored with Jan Schwochow). Viktor and I have put out another book recently at University of California Press: Access Rules – Freeing Data from Big Tech For a Better Future. And there is a book of mine forthcoming at MIT Press in fall 2023: On Brink of Utopia: Reinventing Innovation to Solve the World's Largest Problems.
