Produced by Greg Weeks, Stephen Blundell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Warm" by Robert Sheckley is a science fiction short story written during the early 1950s. The narrative follows a man named Anders who grapples with unexpected telepathic communication from an enigmatic voice inside his head while preparing for a date with the woman he loves, Judy. The story explores themes of perception, reality, and the nature of human connection through Anders' reflections on love and existential inquiry. As Anders navigates his evening with Judy, the voice leads him on a journey of introspection, challenging him to reconsider his understanding of reality and the dynamics of human relationships. Throughout their interactions, Anders experiences an unsettling shift in perspective that reduces Judy and others around him to mere patterns or "gestalts," stripping away their individuality and complicating his emotions. Ultimately, the voice's guidance pushes Anders toward a troubling realization about existence and perception, culminating in a profound confrontation with nothingness that forces him to confront his beliefs about life, love, and self-identity.
