--- title: About type: page --- Monotrope is a play on the idea of [monotropism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropism). I created this site as an experiment in writing regularly, and also in trying to own things instead of putting them on corporate platforms. Monotropism relates to the autistic experience, but I also just like the idea of deep singular focus and flow states. Modern work, especially with the use of AI, is increasingly fragmented and alienating. I read across all genres, and post my reviews here because I want to own them. I live on Djadjawurrung and Taungurong land.
