Tom Chatfield Biography
Dr. Tom Chatfield is a British author, broadcaster, and technology philosopher whose work focuses on digital culture, critical thinking, and the ethics of technology. Chatfield earned an M.Phil in English literature and a DPhil in 20th-century literature and ethics from St John's College, Oxford, before moving from academia to become a public commentator on how society navigates the digital age. He was named among the 100 top global thinkers by an Italian think tank for his contributions to technology and ethics.
Chatfield's debut book, "Fun Inc.," explores the culture of video games and was accompanied by a TED Global talk titled "7 ways games reward the brain." He has authored several works on digital culture, including "How to Thrive in the Digital Age" and "Live This Book!" Chatfield's novel "This Is Gomorrah" is a techno-thriller set in the dark net, recognized as a Sunday Times thriller of the month, shortlisted for the CWA Steel Dagger award, and recipient of France's Prix Douglas Kennedy for best foreign thriller. In "Wise Animals: How Technology Has Made Us What We Are," he examines humanity's evolving relationship with technology, from ancient tools to artificial intelligence.
As a critical thinking specialist, educator, and broadcaster, Chatfield has written bestselling textbooks such as "Critical Thinking" and "How to Think," along with several volumes on digital culture. His textbooks and online courses, developed in partnership with SAGE Publishing, are used by companies, institutions, and universities worldwide. Chatfield's work includes developing an LLM-powered critical thinking tutor for universities and designing and presenting AI and critical thinking business courses for The Economist.
Chatfield is an experienced non-executive director and chair, speaking internationally on artificial intelligence, technology ethics, and governance at forums including the UK and European Parliaments, TED Global, and the US National Academy of Sciences. He has consulted for organizations such as Google, Sage, Pearson, BMJ, Lloyds, and Allianz. Chatfield serves as chair of the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), is a member of the British Library Advisory Council, and is an associate at the interdisciplinary think tank Perspectiva. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages, reflecting the global reach of his work in technology, ethics, and critical thinking.
