ACCESS....: SEE BELOW
A short, punchy book by a philosopher of technology (and multiple-time cancer survivor, amputee, and hard of hearing writer) on "technoableism": the belief that technology exists to fix disabled people rather than serve them. Skewers exoskeleton hype, inspiration robotics coverage, and cure-first thinking, and centers what disabled people actually want from tech. Directly relevant to every AI-and-accessibility debate happening right now.
