Goodreads asked Ivan D. Wainewright:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ivan D. Wainewright I was doing my usual “writing activity” of surfing the web, and I read a forum discussing people’s favourite ever gigs; and gigs they wished they’d been to. And it just popped into my head: what if someone invented a time machine so you could go and see any concert in history? Then I almost immediately thought of the ‘major twist’ in the book. I couldn’t quite believe that no one had incorporated either concept in a novel already, so I spent two hours Googling and looking at various book sites trying to find out. When I realised my idea might be new, I thought I’d better write it quick!
