    In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Laksmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if, in the near future, the majority of people will be disabled—and what if that's not a bad thing? 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 her 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); honor 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.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Khmer Rouge Purge: A Villager’s Journey Through the Killing Fields of Cambodia 
     
    When the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia, they promised a new society. What they delivered was terror. Families were torn apart, children indoctrinated, and millions of lives destroyed in the name of revolution. 
     
    In this powerful memoir, survivor Tom Hout Chow shares the story of life as an ordinary villager caught in one of history’s darkest regimes. Through famine, forced labor, and the silence of the Killing Fields, he reveals the pain of a people stripped of freedom, dignity, and even family bonds. 
     
    Yet this is more than a story of loss. It is also a testimony of resilience. Chow shows how determination, faith, and the hunger to learn became lifelines that no tyrant could take away. From the villages of Cambodia to the refugee camps of Thailand, his journey is a reminder that dictators can destroy bodies, but they cannot kill the human spirit. 
     
    The Khmer Rouge Purge is at once a historical witness, a personal journey, and a call to remember—so that the world never repeats the mistakes of the past.
