Reading The Country of the Blind | Alexandria
Read The Country of the Blind by H. G. Wells. Flipping expectations, this icon dismantles our belief in "superior" civilizations through a valley of blind people who thrive without sight. Wells ingeniously shows how disability is socially constructed - what's "normal" depends entirely on context. His radical point? Sometimes refusing to adapt to the majority's standards is wiser than conforming to their "fixes."
