Summary "Don't Look Now" by Henry Kuttner is a science fiction short story written in the late 1940s. Set against a backdrop of a seemingly normal world, the narrative delves into themes of alien control and societal obliviousness. It presents a biting commentary on how humans may be manipulated by entities that use post-hypnotic suggestions to shape their actions and perceptions without their awareness, suggesting a deeper commentary on autonomy and awareness in human society. The story revolves around Lyman, a man who has accidentally gained the ability to perceive Martians disguised as humans due to a mishap with high-frequency waves while experimenting with detergents. As Lyman attempts to warn a skeptical reporter in a bar, he reveals that their world is under the covert control of Martians who have mastered the art of camouflage and manipulation. The narrative intensifies as Lyman shares his struggles to grasp the true nature of the Martians and the meaning behind their influence on humankind. Together, they explore the implications of Lyman's newfound awareness, culminating in a sense of urgency to expose the truth before it’s too late. Their dialogue raises unsettling questions about trust, reality, and the unseen forces that govern their lives, ultimately challenging the reader to consider how much we truly know about the world around us.
