You really can't go deep/long-term on a topic without a bit of institutional underwriting (that, or personal wealth). It's just too hard to find time in the interstices of free agency and gig economy.

Like right now, I'm strongly leaning towards turning my current project output into fictional form, something that wouldn't have been possible if I'd been in academia. I'd have had to write some papers and a stodgy Springer-Verlag volume.

I have 2 chapters in springer books (I think, or equivalent), but one is actually a story in comicbook form... I'm very proud of that
