520    A manifesto exploding what we think we know about 
       disability, and arguing that disabled people are the real 
       experts when it comes to technology and disability. 
520    "When bioethicist and professor Ashley Shew became a self-
       described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with 
       Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to 
       "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an 
       "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a 
       needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled 
       people don't want what the abled assume they want -- nor 
       are they generally asked. Almost everyone will experience 
       disability at some point in their lives, yet the abled 
       persistently frame disability as an individual's problem 
       rather than a social one. In a warm, feisty voice and 
       vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better 
       narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the
       insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a 
       more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate 
       "technoableism" -- the harmful belief that technology is a
       "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await 
       being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making 
       society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser 
       priority. This badly needed introduction to disability 
       expertise considers mobility devices, medical 
       infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the crucial 
       relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew
       points out, is surely disabled -- whether through changing
       climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's 
       time we looked closely at how we all think about 
       disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities
       not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us 
       to navigate a challenging world."--|cProvided by
