Childhood is being rewritten.

AI is reshaping the world.
And school hasn’t moved an inch.

We’re still preparing children for a world that doesn’t exist.
And the cost is showing —
in every classroom, every home, every child caught between two worlds.

This isn’t just a shift.
It’s a wake-up call.

I’m Sarah Kissane — a writer and mother using words to hold the line.
If you’ve felt the friction, the disconnect, the quiet urgency to do better —
you’re not alone.

This is where we start telling the truth.

“We taught them to follow the map. Then changed the world beneath their feet.” — Sarah Kissane

If you’ve felt it too…

You’re not imagining it. The world has changed — faster than anyone expected.
But the systems around childhood? They haven’t moved. Not really.

School still rewards obedience.
Screens still dominate attention.
And somewhere in between, children are growing up in a world their parents don’t fully recognise.

That gap — between how we were raised and what they’re walking into — is where the tension lives.
And where the truth begins.

Obsolete cracked the system open.
The moment we saw it wasn’t working.

The Pull of the Program enters the story from another angle.
Not from the teacher’s view — but the child’s. Where the algorithm whispers louder than the adult. Where attention is the prize.

One book tells the truth from above.
The other lives it from within.

These aren’t just books.
They’re letters of conviction — written for our children, and the world they’ll inherit.

Because change doesn’t begin with policy. It begins with awareness. With stories.
With the courage to name what isn’t working — and imagine something more human in its place.

Why I wrote Obsolete

Because I see what’s coming.
Not just as a writer. Not just as a mother.
But as someone who works in the very systems being reshaped by AI.

The change isn’t coming — it’s already here.
And if we stay silent, our children will carry the cost.

This book wasn’t written out of fear.
It was written out of love — and the fierce clarity that
our future, their future, is on the line.
