Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Moonlight and Robots" by Jerry Dunham is a science fiction short story written during the mid-20th century. The narrative explores a futuristic society where engagement and marriage are intertwined with a peculiar custom involving robotic facsimiles, blurring the lines between reality and imitation. The book delves into themes of identity, love, and the impact of technology on human relationships. In the story, the protagonist Thad Morgan is engulfed in a marriage contest that requires him to navigate a series of interactions with his fiancée, Myrna, while utilizing robotic replicas of himself. As they engage in a playful yet tension-filled series of challenges aimed at identifying each other's true selves versus their robotic versions, Thad grapples with his feelings toward Myrna and the absurdity of the traditions. Through a rollercoaster of identifications, misunderstandings, and emotional revelations, the couple ultimately comes to terms with their authentic connection, allowing love to transcend the unconventional marriage game. The story culminates in a heartfelt embrace that reinforces their desire for genuine intimacy, setting aside the robotic facsimiles as they prepare for their future together.
