“I'm with the Followers of the Apocalypse, and I help the locals in Westside grow crops. Unlike the NCR, the Followers don't expect anything back.”
Tom Anderson is a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse living in Westside in 2281.
Background
Many of the citizens of Westside say that Anderson's assistance is the main reason why Westside can grow crops, and therefore survive. One could argue that he is the reason citizens there do much better than they do in Freeside.
Despite having the good opinion of most of Westside's citizens, Tom has a troubled past which may explain his separation from other Followers of the Apocalypse. As documented in Anderson's confession, he has broken the law many times due to his belief in the maxim "the end justifies the means." He has even committed murder, killing an NCR trooper to cover his diversion of water to Westside to prevent local crop failure. Unknown to him, the water is contaminated, as the Courier will discover in the quest Hard Luck Blues.
During the quest The White Wash, Anderson attempts to explain his beliefs and those of the Followers. This may trigger a reaction in Veronica Santangelo initiating the quest I Could Make You Care.

Appearances
Tom Anderson appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
Tom shares his name (and uncannily similar appearance) with the co-founder and former president of MySpace, Tom Anderson.
Bugs
- While in prison in the Camp McCarran terminal building, Anderson may still talk as though he were still in Westside. [verified]
- Anderson can disappear into the wall of his apartment though he remains on your radar, if this happens prior to the White Wash quest, the quest becomes impossible to finish. [verified]
- Even though you can find him in the prison at the Camp McCarran terminal building at the end of the quest, you can still find him in Westside. There will be two non-player characters of Anderson. [verified]
