First published in 1982 by editors Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/MartinHGreenberg. This GenreAnthology contains fourteen ScienceFiction stories that were first published in 1945, ranging in length from ShortStory to {{Novelette}}. The introduction describes "the world outside reality" first, marking significant historical events, sports trivia, and literary publications. The "real world" is the science fiction and fantasy pop culture, the birth of what many in the 1970s were calling the Golden Age of Science Fiction.

!!''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 7 (1945)'' provides examples of:
* {{Biography}}: Each story is prefaced by a short description of why this story (from this author) was chosen to represent one of the fourteen best stories of the year along with a paragraph from Creator/IsaacAsimov's perspective.
* DictionaryOpening: Creator/FredricBrown's "Literature/TheWaveries": The ([[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 1998]]) definitions for "wavery", "vader", and "radio" are given at the start of this 1945 story.
* EnemyMine: Creator/FritzLeiber's "Literature/WantedAnEnemy": Mr Whitlow wants to convince the [[{{UsefulNotes/Mars}} martians]] to attack Earth so that the various nations and factions would feel compelled to join in harmony against the alien invaders. It works ''too'' well, and the martians decide that humanity must be exterminated, so Whitlow visits {{UsefulNotes/Venus}} and beg them to defend Earth against the martians' violation of an ancient treaty.
* EpistolaryNovel: Creator/MurrayLeinster's "The Power": This story [[BookEnds begins and ends]] with memorandums within Haverford University, translating a series of letters from a Carolus (from various locations) to their friend Johannus Hartmannus (who lived in Leyden). %%Correct work name link would lead to a different work
* FictionalDocument: Creator/FredricBrown's "Literature/TheWaveries": ''Morning Messenger'' is a newspaper quoted in this story. Mostly to provide pop culture context from the headlines.
* ForWantOfANail: "Literature/WhatYouNeed": A salesman provides, for a significant fee, rather mundane items to a restricted clientele. These items turn out to be exactly what the clients need shortly thereafter (for example, a man receives a pair of scissors, which he uses to snip his tie when it gets caught in machinery; had he not had the scissors on him at the time, he would have been killed).
* FutureSlang: Creator/FredricBrown's "Literature/TheWaveries": This story was published in 1945, and the word "wavery" in the title is explained to be a slang word in the [[DictionaryOpening 1998 dictionary quote]]. It refers to a type of EnergyBeings from the electromagnetic frequency (that used to be called) radio.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: In "Literature/GiantKiller", a {{Novella}} by Creator/ABertramChandler, the setting is an enormous spaceship populated by "The People" and "The Giants". When "The People" become a serious menace to "The Giants", and voiding the air of the ship doesn't kill ''all'' of them, the last surviving "Giant" sends the ship into a star.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: "Literature/WhatYouNeed": Despite the protagonists not noticing the store before, the proprietor insists that he's been there; it's just a very low-key place.
* OneWordTitle: Creator/HenryKuttner's "Camouflage" %%Correct link would lead to a different work
* PenName:
** In the introduction to "Literature/ThePipersSon", Creator/MartinHGreenberg explains that Creator/LewisPadgett was an alias used by both Creator/HenryKuttner and Creator/CLMoore, but that they were so involved in each other's writing that even works credited only to one author still had influence from the other, so "Camouflage" and "Literature/WhatYouNeed" are credited simply to Henry Kuttner.
** Creator/MurrayLeinster is an alias used by Will F. Jenkins, used for "Literature/DeProfundis", "Literature/FirstContact", and "The Power". %%Correct link would lead to a different work
* ShoutOut: In the introduction, multiple works are mentioned as being first published or becoming hits in 1945:
** ''The Literature/AnimalFarm'’, by Creator/GeorgeOrwell
** Creator/MelBrooks is singled out as still using the name Melvin Kaminsky.
** ''Theatre/{{Carousel}}'', by Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein

** Creator/LewisPadgett's "Literature/ThePipersSon": A FictionalDocument in this story is a manuscript called "Psychohistory", referencing the [[{{Technobabble}} jargon]] that had been appearing since Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/TheEncyclopedists".
* TomatoSurprise: In "Literature/GiantKiller", a {{Novella}} by Creator/ABertramChandler, the main characters call themselves "The People", but they can't be normal humans (among other things, one of the "hideously deformed mutants" whose names describe their mutations is called No-Tail), but knowing what and where they actually are [[spoiler:(sentient rats on a spaceship)]] causes a perspective shift that turns it into almost an entirely different story.
* VenusIsWet: Creator/LeighBrackett's "Literature/TheVanishingVenusians": The premise requires that {{UsefulNotes/Venus}} is covered in large bodies of water with intelligent life living within them.
* ZigZaggingTrope: During the introduction to "Literature/CorrespondenceCourse", by Creator/RaymondFJones, Creator/IsaacAsimov describes the "double-double-cross", where a writer tells a story where the audience begins to assume one particular PlotTwist (which might be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion of the basic tale]]), but then [[TwistEnding ends]] with the [[DoubleSubversion opposite]] or a completely different interpretation is actually intended. He claims it is an inevitable trick that any writer will eventually attempt in order to mislead their readers.
