Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement by Ashley Shew

challenging hopeful informative slow-paced

4.0

This book is an important reframing of the narrative that technology can "solve" disability and the goal is to approach "normalcy". By the end, there are some fun speculations about how disabled people may actually be better suited for space so it's not a dry reading experience.

The first half is a bit of a recap of what disabilities and ableism are, so if someone hasn't come across this information before, it's discussed well. However, for me, I found that it took until halfway to get to what I wanted out of this book, but the way things are mapped out, you can't really skip ahead either because a well presented case is drawn throughout.
