When he was a teenager, Andrew Leland was diagnosed with a degenerative retinal disorder that would slowly reduce his vision over time, eventually leaving him blind. In this fascinating book, Leland muses on his experience of becoming blind and the way it changes his relationships with loved ones, strangers, and the world around him. At the same time, he also offers up plenty of information about the history of governmental and private programs for the blind, technological innovations for blind people, and the larger blind community. This was a great book, and I can't recommend it enough. (Also, I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author, and it was fantastic.)
