A favorite of mine is Pacific Biological Laboratories: Ed Ricketts, John Steinbeck, Joseph Campbell.

Mythologized in Canary Row and other Steinbeck novels.

Beyond the Outer Shore might be the most relevant book to your research interest. Log from the Sea of Cortez is my favorite, though.

You’re likely familiar with Eno’s concept of “scenius,” but just in case…

There was a book I liked on the Inklings, I think this one? https://www.amazon.com/Bandersnatch-Tolkien-Creative-Collaboration-Inklings/dp/1606352768/ (It's been a long while)

Aha, the book I read was an earlier more academic one by the same author. https://www.amazon.com/Company-They-Keep-Tolkien-Community/dp/B073SBZTSG

In Nick Milo's last LYT workshop we had a great session with https://www.uu.nl/staff/JHAnderson/Extra3 on Collaborative Notemaking & Knowledge Management, using Peerdraft, a kind of "collective Obsidian use case". Very inspiring, how fast seeds can show and grow. Maybe you could get in touch with him.
