(The comparisons to Black Mirror are accurate.) While I liked The Ones We’re Meant to Find well enough and I feel that others should give this book a read, my thoughts about The Ones We’re Meant to Find are multi-faceted and complex – which I will try and do justice in today’s book review. True to its promises, The Ones We’re Meant to Find is indeed twisty and surprising, and the themes explored in this book are one of the most confronting and alarming that I have read in recent memory.

Ladd directs "lay people" to chapters 1 and 11 for an introduction of contemporary Deaf culture and issues. The text itself is a weighty tome-11 chapters framed by a glossary and an introduction, further reading and appendices-but works as an invitation to explore the "Deaf-centred 'spaces'" that disrupt deaf discourses. His study provides a preliminary guide map for tracing Deafhood: the self-actualizing collective process of "deafness becoming." By attempting to "write Deaf people 'larger'," he defensively builds the terrain for Deafness outside of a disability model, aligning Deaf communities instead with colonized peoples and linguistic minorities. Founded upon the anthropomorphic denial of sign language's validity, Ladd argues that Oralism's goal to "wipe out" deafness persists through lures of technological miracles which seek to pathologize deafness. Engaged with and seeking a cross-cultural alliance with multilingual and multicultural studies, Ladd contests medical and social discourses of deafness to expose an Oralist Hegemony that functions as a totalizing and totalitarian bio-power.
