In this groundbreaking collection, twelve international scholars -- with backgrounds in disability studies, English and world literature, classics, and history -- discuss the representation of dis/ability, medical 'cures, ' technology, and the body in science fiction. Bringing together the fields of disability studies and science fiction, this book explores the ways dis/abled bodies use prosthetics to challenge common ideas about ability and human being, as well as proposes new understandings of what 'technology as cure' means for people with disabilities in a (post)human future. 606 $aFiction 606 $aTechnology in literature 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 606 $aLiterature and Technology/Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/827000 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 615 14$aFiction. 615 24$aLiterature and Technology/Media. 676 $a809.38762 702 $aAllan$b K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790679103321 996 $aDisability in Science Fiction$93685966 997 $aUNINA
