I cannot recommend a book more. It gets 5 out of 5 ⭐s. 10 out of five stars. 15! It's a short, accessible read that I would recommend to just about everyone.

The term technoableism refers to the idea that stability is some evil to be overcome or fought against and that technology should or could be forced on disabled individuals in order to make them more abled.

The author, a disabled individual themself, discusses topics from prosthetic limbs to neurodivergence and neurodiversity. There are discussions about the fact that, over time, everyone becomes disabled and that the denial of that fact continues to lead to limited and exclusionary design in every aspect of society's day-to-day life.

It also highlights and encourages the normalization of disabled experiences. As a society, we should not be exalting the abled experience as the only experience. Doing so results in missing so many nuances that could make life better for everyone. Reading works like this give me hope for the future.
