đź“® Connecting Dots by Joshua A. Miele (.ePUB)

A memoir that is “several wonderful books wrapped into one” by a scientist who became blind at a young age—how he navigates his experience and channels his genius into decades of cutting edge work in accessibility—packed with humor, adventure, and insights on life and disability. (A.J. Jacobs, author of The Know It All and The Year of Living Constitutionally) At the age of four, Joshua Miele was blinded and badly burned when a delusional neighbor poured sulfuric acid over his head in a crime that shocked New York. It could have ended his life, but, instead, Miele—naturally curious and a born problem solver—not only recovered but thrived, finding increasingly inventive ways to succeed in a world built for the sighted. At first reluctant to even think of himself as blind, he eventually embraced his blindness and became a committed advocate for disability and accessibility. Along the way, he grappled with drugs and addiction, played bass in a rock band, worked for NASA, became a guerilla activist, married the love of his life, and had two children. Miele introduces us to an extraordinary cast of characters, from his lovingly quirky family, to his rock-and-roll buddies and romantic loves, to the devoted teachers and brilliant colleagues whose encouragement and collaboration supported him. He also chronicles the development of revolutionary accessible technologies and his role in shaping them, including screen readers, tactile maps, and audio description.Connecting Dotsdelivers a captivating first-person perspective on blindness and disability as incisive as it is entertaining and, ultimately, triumphant; in 2021 Miele won a MacArthur “Genius” award for his work. His story demonstrates the normality of blindness as he lives, loves, invents, raises a family, and takes pride in his blind identity. Interweaving tales of invention and independence with humor, struggle, and achievement, this is the story of one ordinary blind life with an indelible impact.
