Warm Worlds and Otherwise is a short story collection by Alice Sheldon that, under her pen name James Tiptree, Jr., was first published in 1975. This collection is notable for its introduction, "Who is Tiptree, What is He?", in which fellow Science Fiction author Robert Silverberg wrote that he found the theory that Tiptree was female "absurd", that the author of these stories could only be a man. When it was later revealed that Tiptree was a woman, a postscript to the introduction by Silverberg was added to the collection.
| “ | Twelve furiously imaginative, occasionally explosive SF stories, the best of which are quite brilliant | ” |

Famous quotes containing the words warm and/or worlds:
“To warm the frozen swamp as best it could
With the slow smokeless burning of decay.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“And now good morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
