Tunnel Under The World

by Frederik Pohl

Published in 1954, The Tunnel Under the World by Frederik Pohl is a fun read. The story’s two main characters, Mary and Guy Burckhardt who work in a chemical plant. The night before going to work the pair both had terrible nightmares but cannot remember their dreams. Everywhere they go they hear excruciatingly loud advertising slogans for everything imaginable. Eventually, it is discovered that Guy and Mary and the whole town of Tylerton were killed when the chemical plant exploded. An advertising executive had the people rebuilt as tiny robots to try the latest advertising slogans.

Description

“Guy and Mary Burckhardt wake up in their house in Tylerton on June 15, having both had terrible nightmares, but they can’t recall the events of their dreams. Guy dismisses the dream and goes to work as usual, the downtown offices of Contro Chemicals, which operates a highly automated and robot-staffed petrochemicals plant. But something isn’t right; he is surrounded everywhere by loud and all-pervasive advertising jingles for everything from cigarettes to freezers. A colleague named Swanson tries to speak to him but apparently doesn’t get the desired reaction from Burckhardt and leaves. Burckhardt goes home, but the next morning, when he wakes up, he’s had the same nightmare and the date is still June 15th. He knows what will happen when he gets to the office and that Swanson will again try to speak to him. This in fact happens.” ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
