Exploring the concept of blindness, the book challenges conventional perceptions by questioning whether a world without sight is truly dark and isolating or just a different state of existence. It delves into societal fears surrounding blindness, examining how these fears have been shaped over time. Through this thought-provoking lens, the narrative invites readers to reconsider their assumptions and attitudes towards sight and blindness, ultimately offering a fresh perspective on what it means to perceive the world.
