For over 35 years Ray has been writing and speaking about
the trends that will shape the future. His long record of accurate
foresight is unique in Europe and he is now living in the future he first
described 30 years ago.
In 2010 former President Mikhail Gobachev presented Ray with
a U.N. Gold Medal for Services to Futurology.
Ray is also a successful and proven business leader and
serial entrepreneur. He has hands-on experience of creating and selling
profitable businesses. Today, Ray is the author of 14 books about the future, a
body of work which he began in 1980 and which stands as testament to the
long-term accuracy and reliability of his foresight. His 1984 publication, The
On-Line Handbook, was the world’s first book to identify the overwhelming
importance of the Internet and to identify ‘search’ as the key driving force
behind all future on-line advertising and digital commerce. He is based in
London.
