That is Arthur C Clark's last novel "The Light of Other Days", and it even has an Elon Musk like no ethics billionaire as one of the plot driving main characters.

Asimov has written a somewhat similar novel called "The Dead Past". In fact from the description I thought parent was referring to this story.

Thank you! Yes, that is the one. I actually found it on my bookshelf just now, but in searching for "that book with the wormholes" several times before I never thought to check this one. Great sci-fi story.
