A Vision That Speaks To Everyone
Earth2035 by Tom Orrowchild is more than a book—it is a reminder that the choices we make today shape the lives of tomorrow’s children. His story is grounded not in theory but in lived experience. Born in 1970 to a working immigrant family in the United Kingdom, Tom grew up between two very different worlds. Britain offered opportunity and progress, while Punjab, India, showed him struggle and resilience.
Experiences That Shaped His Perspective
Tom’s teenage years brought him into one of England’s top boarding schools. Surrounded by students from powerful backgrounds—children of farmers with wealth, respected professionals, expats, and even royalty—he could have felt out of place. Instead, he observed and learned. He noticed how privilege shaped behavior and choices, yet he held tightly to his own roots. Those years gave him the ability to move between different worlds without losing his identity.
Success Revealed More Than Numbers
After completing a law degree, Tom stepped into the business world. For the next thirty-two years, he built an international company that operated across twenty-five countries, employed more than five hundred people, and reached an annual turnover of more than £200 million. To the outside world, it looked like a perfect story of success. Yet Tom realized that the numbers told only part of the truth.
Lessons That Became Impossible To Ignore
These experiences taught him that ambition without responsibility leaves costs that future generations cannot escape. He saw forests shrinking, biodiversity declining, and the climate shifting. Gurdev Mattu, as he is known outside his pen name, carried these lessons deeply. They were not learned from theory but through decades of experience in global business and personal reflection.
A Message Carried Through His Writing
In Earth2035, Tom Orrowchild brings these truths together with urgency and hope. He does not write to create fear but to encourage courage. His message is simple: intelligence is humanity’s greatest gift only when guided by responsibility. His words urge us to balance progress with responsibility and to think beyond our own lifetime.
Why His Words Matter Today
Reading his work feels less like instructions and more like an invitation. The questions he raises stay with the reader: What kind of world are we shaping? How do we value tomorrow’s children? And are we willing to change before it is too late? Earth2035 creates reflection, sparks curiosity, and leaves us with responsibility we cannot ignore.
