New e-book

Chapman, Robert. Empire of normality: neurodiversity and capitalism. London: Pluto Press, 2023. From the blurb: “Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible - but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism.”
