And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom are crucial to creating a future in which it's possible to survive fascism, climate change, and pandemics and to bring about liberation? Building on the work of their game-changing book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice , Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other - and the rest of the world - alive during Trump, fascism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy. Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those concerned about disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honour songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death. With passion and power, The Future Is Disabled remembers our dead and insists on our future. This updated edition includes a new chapter and afterword by the author.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781551528915","publication_date":"20221004","publisher":"Arsenal Pulp Press","slug":"the-future-is-disabled","subtitle":"Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs","title":"The Future Is Disabled"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"BIO031000","confidence_band":"high","label":"LGBTQ+ Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SOC029000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Disability Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SOC064000","confidence_band":"high","label":"LGBTQ+ Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}],"hint":[],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BIO031000","confidence_band":"high","label":"LGBTQ+ Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SOC029000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Disability Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"SOC064000","confidence_band":"high","label":"LGBTQ+ Studies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"LGBTQ+ Lives","score":1,"slug":"lgbtq-lives"},{"label":"Disability Studies","score":1,"slug":"disability-studies"},{"label":"LGBTQ+ Studies","score":1,"slug":"lgbtq-studies"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy LGBTQ+ Lives","Good for fans of Disability","Good for readers who enjoy LGBTQ+ Lives and Disability Studies."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Samantha Allen"],"book_id":"9780316516020","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780316516020.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":9.8013,"title":"Real Queer America","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780316516020"},{"authors":["Eric Cervini"],"book_id":"9781250798503","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250798503.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":9.7586,"title":"The Deviant's War","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250798503"},{"authors":["David Wojnarowicz"],"book_id":"9780679732273","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780679732273.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":6.5803,"title":"Close to the Knives","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780679732273"},{"authors":["Michael Amherst"],"book_id":"9781910924716","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781910924716.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":6.5648,"title":"Go the Way Your Blood Beats","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781910924716"},{"authors":["Edited by Freiya Benson","Freiya Benson"],"book_id":"9781785924323","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781785924323.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.8134,"title":"Trans Love","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781785924323"},{"authors":["Jack Lowery"],"book_id":"9781645036586","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781645036586.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.5421,"title":"It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781645036586"},{"authors":["Melissa Febos","Audible Studios for Bloomsbury"],"book_id":"9781632866585","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781632866585.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.5116,"title":"Abandon Me","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781632866585"},{"authors":["Alyson Stoner","Macmillan Audio"],"book_id":"9781250353498","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250353498.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.4829,"title":"Semi-well-adjusted Despite Literally Everything","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250353498"}],"topics":[],"what_you_get":["Reading lane: LGBTQ+ Lives and Disability Studies.","Publisher: Arsenal Pulp Press."]},"llm_signals":null,"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":false,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":1528,"goodreads_reviews_count":229,"quality_score":0.9186}}
