A life lived between the lines.

I'm Alex Monroe — a writer, essayist, and occasional troublemaker based in Brooklyn. My work lives at the intersection of technology and what it means to be human. I believe the most important stories are the ones nobody thinks to tell yet.

Over the past decade I've contributed to publications including The Atlantic, Wired, Noema, The New Yorker, and MIT Technology Review. My debut book, The Quiet Algorithm, became a Kirkus starred review in 2022.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably on a long walk with a notebook, haunting used bookshops, or arguing about jazz with strangers.

"The best stories aren't written — they're excavated from the ordinary."
