The Experiment, a novel (Rockument)
by Tony Bove

“A deeply provocative alternate look at the 1960s.”

— Michael Gosney (Digital Be-In and Synergetic Press)

“A fabulously innovative work, both in substance and style… Historical characters and Bove’s own creations drive the novel forward with the gonzo bravado of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer… The iBooks edition embeds links to the music that is so important to the story and it’s hard to imagine a better use of e-book technology.”
— Ken Sonenclar, author, Bombs & Believers

“It takes you places and gets you thinking about how music develops and how it gets is passed down from one generation to the next in a way I had never considered before. Clearly a ton of research has gone into this book, and if you’re a fan of the Sixties (the music, the time, the spirit) you will love the thousand nuggets that you’ll happily stumble across as the story unfolds.
— Rodney Osborne, author, Straw Men
