Every Anxious Wave

Every Anxious Wave by Mo Daivau, 2016

Read in November 2020

This is a book every music nerd science fiction fan can love. A thirty-something bar owner and former rock musician finds a time traveling worm hole in his closet that he uses to go back in time to attend shows in the past. Him and a computer wiz friend develop a business of sending people back in time to see shows by their favorite bands. People bounce around time meddling with the past, having romances and changing the future. One character attempts to go back to 1980 to stop the murder of John Lennon but a type error sends him to that Manhattan street corner outside the Dakota in 980 instead where he eventually lives with the native clan in the area. Another character gets a glimpse of a dystopian future. 

A highly entertaining novel that's brilliantly done with lots of silly ideas that somehow work.
