About This Book
A dazzling, non-linear novel in stories following music executive Bennie Salazar and his assistant Sasha through time—from the 1970s punk scene to a dystopian near-future New York. Including an extraordinary chapter written entirely as a PowerPoint presentation, the novel explores the passage of time and the redemptive power of rock and roll.
