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.

What The Reviewers Say

Andrew Leland,
The New York Times Book Review
[A] series of short, wonderfully lucid essays.

Kirkus
Although framed as a denunciation of technoableism, the belief that technical advances will "cure" disability, this book is a more inclusive, intensely squirm-inducing attack on the almost universal conviction that disabled people are broken and require fixing.

Publishers Weekly
Equally fierce and funny, this will galvanize readers to demand genuine equity for people with disabilities..
