"""Against Technoableism reveals design justice not only for those with disabilities but for everyone who labors and lives with technology. It's an outstanding book."" -- Stephen Kuusisto, author of Have Dog, Will Travel: A Poet’s Journey ""This is a crucial book. Authorative, witty, thoughtful, and unafraid to throw a punch, Ashley Shew pushes us headlong toward a much-needed world in which disabled people are seen as experts in their lives, curators of their stories, and vibrant, essential, generative parts of our collective future."" -- Ed Yong, author of An Immense World ""This book is a really big deal. This is the kind of book that—decades from now—people will still talk about. This book marks a before and after. Before the word 'technoableism' and after the word 'technoableism.' People will say: We did not know what to call it. And then Ashley Shew named it. And then we understood the profound effects of technoableism on our lives. And when I write 'people,' I do not mean disabled people only. I mean all people who have anything to do with technology. This book is for us."" -- The Cyborg Jillian Weise, author of The Colony ""Against Technoableism reveals design justice not only for those with disabilities but for everyone who labors and lives with technology.
