Jon Wynn on writing fiction
Q: How did you decide to go the fiction route?

Simmel's insights, particularly about social forms, conflict, and integration, are foundational in various subfields such as urban sociology, social network analysis, and the sociology of culture.

Form refers to the structural characteristics of social interactions that remain consistent, regardless of the content or context.
