Here’s Rob Sears
This is where you can learn a few tantalising bits about Rob.
Rob was born in Nottinghamshire in England. His earliest memory is of being bitten by a goose through a five-bar gate. He became a watchful child, mistrustful of wildfowl and authority figures alike.
As a young man growing up in Essex, he experimented with journalism. The 3T newsletter was banned at his school and may still be the best thing he’s done.
Rob studied philosophy and was involved in the theatre scene at university, where he possessed one rollneck.
Today he lives in Finsbury Park in London, with his dog, cat and wife.
With the series of books about despotic world leaders for which he is best known, Rob wishes to usher in a new era of sane global leadership. Failing that, he would be happy to raise a weak smile on the face of a disillusioned knowledge worker, during a lull in this hellacious rollercoaster timeline we inhabit.
His illustrated book, The Biggest Footprint, is a departure from the despot books, though it still tackles a scary subject in an irreverent style. The Biggest Footprint tells the story of our environmental omnicrisis through the story of the mega human, a 3km-tall blue giant made of all humanity smooshed together, on the cusp of a realisation about the giant mess it's making of the planet. Co-authored with his brother Tom, it’s an illustrated book and his first for both children and adults.
Rob isn’t really on social media but periodically says he’s going to try harder.
