About this Event

🧠 Curio Reads Book Club
Hosted by Leila

Kick off the year with a bold, thought-provoking nonfiction pick as we read Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement by Ashley Shew—a sharp, witty, and deeply necessary exploration of disability, technology, and who society decides needs “fixing.”

Shew invites readers to rethink the narratives we’ve been taught about disability, innovation, and progress. With humor, clarity, and fierce insight, she challenges ableist assumptions baked into our everyday world and urges us toward a more equitable, human-centered future.

📅 Thursday, January 22nd
7:00 PM
📍 In partnership with ARCO and Whose Books

“Amusing and persuasive… Equally fierce and funny, this will galvanize readers to demand genuine equality for people with disabilities.”
Publishers Weekly

Join us for an evening of deep conversation, fresh perspectives, and community learning. This is a read you won’t forget.

Support local by getting your book from WhoseBooks.shop, listening on Libro.fm, or downloading via Bookshop.org—all of which support your local indie bookstore. Library readers, we love you too!
