Neurofutures

"Big tech companies are falling over one another to define (and to build) intelligence and intellect: to build a neurofuture. Read this collection instead. The stakes are high for this planet, for all of its beings. And the authors in this collection show us that these stakes actually hinge on neurodiversity. If we lose control of this narrative, we can be certain of an even more violent, inequitable, and dangerous neurofuture. This is a wonderful, engaging, accessible, definitive, careful, extraordinarily inclusive collection. It is also existentially necessary." - Jay Dolmage, author of Disabled Upon Arrival: Eugenics, Immigration, and the Construction of Race and Disability

"A brilliantly inclusive step toward imagining and enacting a neurodivergent res publica or republic. How to invent neurofutures outside of "enminding, grasping, hoarding"? How to emancipate our relationship to world-organizing systems including time itself, abandoning "chrononormative" assumptions? Roughly two dozen contributors to this volume, from diverse disciplinary and disability standpoints, will guide readers in "coming to their senses" collaboratively and openly." - Deborah Jenson, Duke University

"A bold, timely, and important collection. A diverse and accessible group of essays, this book is bound to become required reading for scholars, students, and anyone else with an interest in neurodiversity." - Rachel Adams, author of Love, Money, Duty: Stories of Care in Our Time
