| book description |

When bioethicist and professor Ashley Shew became a self-described â€œhard-of-hearing chemo-brained amputee with Crohnâ€™s disease and tinnitus,â€ there was no returning to â€œnormal.â€ Suddenly well-meaning people called her an â€œinspirationâ€ while grocery shopping, or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people donâ€™t want what the abled assume they wantâ€”nor are they generally asked. Why do abled people frame disability as an individual problem that calls for technological solutions, rather than a social one? In a warm, feisty, opinionated 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. For the future is surely disabledâ€”whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. Itâ€™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.
