Against Technoableism by Ashley Shew
This book examines how assistive and mainstream technologies often embed and reinforce ableist assumptions, critiquing a techno-solutionist impulse that treats disability as an individual deficit to be fixed. It argues for centering disabled people's voices in design, ethics, and policy, documents harms such as surveillance, exclusionary design, and medicalization, and proposes participatory, justice-oriented frameworks to reshape technology so it supports autonomy, dignity, and collective accessibility.
