This is a great collection of stories! There aren’t a lot of people with disabilities in most post-apocalyptic stories and when there are they’re often the first to be killed off. Usually because the plot acts as if they can’t possibly cope with the world or will be a burden to others in the group. This collection of stories shows how disabled people can both survive and thrive different scenarios. While there are a few stories where the disabilities have more impact on how things go in general the disabilities are just part of the characters life which I liked.
