Sheep Code
Why Modern Education Trains Obedience, Not Intelligence
School is sold as liberation. This book argues it's conditioning.
From the first ringing bell to the final exam hall shuffle, modern education presents itself as a ladder to freedom while quietly teaching something else entirely: how to comply, how to wait, how to ask permission, how to stay inside the lines. Sheep Code is a blistering, darkly comic autopsy of that system - where it came from, who it serves, and why it feels increasingly incompatible with human curiosity.
Tracing the roots of schooling from ancient bureaucracies and Prussian drill halls to factory floors, billionaire "philanthropy," and algorithm-driven classrooms, this book exposes education not as a neutral public good but as a finely tuned mechanism for producing predictable, manageable people. Literacy becomes a leash. Maths becomes moral training. Technology becomes surveillance. Creativity is tolerated only when it can be measured, monetised, or safely ignored.
Written with historical insight, cultural critique, and gleeful irreverence, Sheep Code skewers sacred cows: meritocracy, standardisation, testing, "resilience," and the myth that sitting still on command is a virtue. It is not a manifesto for violence or chaos, but a refusal - a refusal to pretend that bells, grades, and data dashboards are the same thing as learning.
This book is for parents who feel something is wrong but can't quite name it. For teachers trapped between children and spreadsheets. For students who sense the system grinding them down and wonder whether the problem might not be them. And for anyone who has ever heard a bell ring and felt the irrational urge to walk in the opposite direction.
Sheep Code is not polite. It is not neutral. And it is not interested in fixing a broken system so much as asking why we keep calling it education in the first place.
The bell will ring tomorrow. You don't have to answer.
