Summary

William D. Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air: Or, Looking Back from 1940" is a fascinating blend of speculative fiction and financial philosophy, interweaving themes of economic prophecy and transformative technology. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, Gann employs a unique narrative style that combines fictional storytelling with practical insights into stock market behaviors and human dynamics. The text serves as both a novel and a guide, reminiscent of the paradigms of the time, grappling with the uncertainties of a rapidly changing world while addressing the significance of foresight in personal and financial affairs. William D. Gann was not merely a writer but a pioneering stock trader whose innovative techniques in market analysis garnered significant following. His extensive background in mathematics and astrology deeply influenced Gann's outlook on market trends and the interplay between time and investment. This experience, coupled with his fascination with the prophetic narratives of the future, informs the narrative and themes present in this work, revealing Gann's drive to enlighten readers about the interplay of destiny and decision-making in the financial realm. Readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between personal fate and economic fortune will find immense value in Gann's work. "The Tunnel Thru the Air" is not just a narrative but a visionary manifesto that encourages readers to anticipate the movements of both the market and their lives, making it an essential read for anyone interested in financial literature or speculative futures.

    A trapped cosmic creature may drive the whole world mad—unless the spellsinger can set it free: "Foster knows how to spin a yarn" (Starlog). 
 
 
 
It's an ordinary day in the Bellwoods, save for the fact that Jon-Tom the spellsinger has awoken as a six-foot blue crab. He soon reverts to normal—as normal as a college student trapped in a world of magic and talking animals can be, anyway—but the bizarre changes keep happening, affecting not just him but the whole of this strange world. His wizardly mentor suspects these are the effects of the perambulator, a cosmic being whose presence distorts reality. One has been imprisoned in the mountains, and unless they free it, it will rip the world to shreds one insane illusion at a time. 
 
 
 
So Jon-Tom sets out, backed by the wizard, a boozehound owl, a gutter-minded otter, and a warrior koala with a taste for leather. Saving the world will be a cinch, as long as they don't lose their minds along the way.

Why was the girl in charge of backstage suffering from amnesia and agoraphobia? No Great Magic is needed to perform the plays they put on, but sometimes great science. No matter where, or when.
