Goodreads asked Jim Infantino:

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

Jim Infantino I was on a bus with my friend Josh, coming home to Boston from NYC where we had played a gig at the Living Room. I had the seat by the window and I was staring down at passing cars. In every other car, the driver was texting. I remember wondering what is so compelling about a short bit of information that people are willing to risk their lives to send and receive it? Then suddenly, this whole scenario complete with a new economy, and new cultures fell from the sky right into my mind. That became the world of The Wakeful Wanderer.
