Exploring the intersection of digital design and disability, this book highlights how advancements in new media often exacerbate accessibility issues instead of resolving them. It critiques the political implications of accessibility choices, revealing an ableist bias that marginalizes individuals with disabilities. The authors argue for recognizing disability as a cultural identity akin to class, gender, and sexuality, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive approach in the evolving landscape of Web 2.0 technologies, including social media and virtual environments.
