didn't know king wrote a book about that, so chatgpt gave me this interview where he quotes the relevant book passage. Whole thing is pretty interesting https://www.jfklibrary.org/events-and-awards/kennedy-library-forums/past-forums/transcripts/a-conversation-with-stephen-king

The name of the book is "11/22/63." There was also a made for TV adaptation.

I used to be a huge Stephen King junkie, read every novel within a few weeks of each release (started young by reading Salem’s Lot way too young). Then he started getting really repetitive in the mid-90s.

So I was reluctant to bother with 11/22/63 but I picked it up because the premise was totally different for King. And I was blown away - I consider it his best, by far.
