A Story Shaped By Contrasts
In Earth2035, Tom Orrowchild asks us to pause and consider the path we are taking. His own life prepared him to ask such questions. Born in 1970 into a working immigrant family in the United Kingdom, his childhood moved between modern Britain and Punjab, India. Each place gave him a different view of life—one defined by opportunity, the other by simplicity and struggle.
Learning In Places Of Privilege
During his teenage years, Tom was accepted into one of England’s top boarding schools. He entered a world where privilege was the norm. His classmates were children of wealthy farmers, urban professionals, expatriates, and even members of royalty. For a boy from a modest background, the contrast was sharp. Yet he paid attention, noticing how opportunity influenced choices and how confidence often grew from wealth.
A Career That Tested His Beliefs
With a law degree completed, Tom entered the business world. Over thirty-two years, he built a company that stretched across twenty-five countries, employed over five hundred people, and achieved an annual turnover of more than £200 million. The numbers were impressive, but they told only half the story. Behind them, he saw how growth created new pressures.
Discovering Lessons Inside Success
For Tom, success became a mirror showing the costs of ambition without balance. He saw forests vanish, biodiversity decline, and pollution spread faster than solutions. These were not abstract theories but realities he witnessed. Gurdev Mattu, the man behind the pen name, carried those truths as part of his personal journey, giving weight to every word he would later write.
A Call To Responsibility Through Writing
That journey became the foundation of Earth2035. Tom’s writing is not about easy solutions but about awareness. He reminds us that intelligence is not just a gift—it is a responsibility. His words encourage us to rethink how we use it, not for endless consumption but for survival, continuity, and shared responsibility.
Why His Message Should Not Be Ignored
The strength of Tom Orrowchild’s writing is that it challenges without forcing. His words create curiosity and reflection, leaving readers with questions that linger. Are we ready to protect tomorrow’s children? Will we rethink what growth really means? Earth2035 is more than a book—it is a reminder that the future is in our hands.
