In 2012, Ramge's book, In Data We Trust, was published which he co-authored with Björn Bloching and Lars Luck.[7] The book was reviewed by David Reed in the Journal of Direct, Data and Digital Marketing Practice in 2013.[7]

In 2018, Ramge co-authored a book titled Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data with Viktor Mayer-Schönberger.[8][9] The book was reviewed by The New York Times,[10] Fortune,[8] Scripted,[11] Finance & Development,[12] and Kirkus Reviews.[13] Kirkus Reviews described it as "An unnerving yet plausible portrait of a future in which finance capitalism will be as old-fashioned as Flower Power."[13] Later, he also received the Getabstract International Book Award in 2018.[14] In the same year, another book, The Global Economy as You've Never Seen It, was published. Rob Tench in a book review for Library Journal called it "Patrons of all levels, particularly students doing reports, could spend hours browsing this superb title."[15] The book received the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal Economics).[16] In 2019, his book Who's Afraid of AI? was published.[17][18]

In 2022, Ramge co-authored another book with Viktor Mayer-Schönberger titled Access Rules in which they discuss the data-hoarding practices of major tech companies and suggest alternative approaches for more equitable and open access to the information.[19] The book was reviewed by Georgetown Public Policy Review and Engadget.[20][21]

In 2023, On the Brink of Utopia was published which he co-authored with Rafael Laguna de la Vera.[5] In the same year, Do you want to live forever? was published which was reviewed by Die Zeit and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.[22][23]
