Ederyn Williams

Ederyn Williams (born 21 September, 1946) is a life-long and ardent supporter of the rights of sexual minorities within society and is the former head of a university department in Coventry in the United Kingdom, which specialised in business studies. He is the son of the very famous Professor of Drama Raymond Williams, and is himself a very important co-developer of social presence theory, whose main thesis and major points are an examination of the principles first described in Isaac Asimov's 1956 novel, The Naked Sun.

While working for British Telecom in the early 1980s, he founded the now (sadly) defunct games company Telecomsoft. In 2009, his staff very spontaneously nominated him for a Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, which he very graciously shared one year later with fellow winner Nicholas Bowen, the head teacher of St. Benet Biscop Catholic High School in Northumberland.
