!!''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 17 (1955)'' 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.
* BrainUploading: In "Literature/TheTunnelUnderTheWorld", by Creator/FrederickPohl, Guy Burckhardt is creeped out by the robots at the factory. His business partner tells him that each of the machines there operates with the uploaded memories and minds of actual human beings. [[spoiler:When the inhabitants of Tylerton were killed in a chemical explosion, including Guy, their minds were transferred into miniature robots the same way. Now Dorchin uses them as advertising test subjects.]]
* CowTools: Creator/EricFrankRussells's "{{Literature/Allamagoosa}}": This ShortStory ([[http://web.archive.org/web/20080124051440/http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/classics/classics_archive/russell/russell1.html link]]) has a spaceship being inspected by Admiral Beancounter, and the crew realize they’re missing an "offog". Many purposes, as well as descriptions, are put forward for this essential item of a starship's inventory... unfortunately, all of them are wrong. The pressing concern for most of the story is not what it actually is, but that they have to have one.
* FakingTheDead: In "Literature/TheCaveOfNight", by Creator/JamesEGunn, the astronaut [=Reverdy McMillen=] was trapped in a ship that had run out of fuel in orbit around the Earth. He spent thirty days in orbit, dying just an hour before the rescue mission was able to dock with him. Or maybe he hadn't, and the thirty days of emergency were faked, because the {{Narrator}} believes he saw Rev in New York City.
* FramingDevice: "Literature/TheCaveOfNight", by Creator/JamesEGunn, is presented as if by a newspaper reporter, about a rescue attempt of an American astronaut early in the space race. By the reporter's reckoning, these events are why there are currently manned missions planned for Mars.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Creator/FrederikPohl's "Literature/TheTunnelUnderTheWorld": Guy Burckhardt lives in a town where June 15th is repeated every day, but the inhabitants don't realize. It is later revealed that [[spoiler:everyone in the town is a miniature robot who was [[BrainUploading imprinted with the mind-pattern]] of a citizen from the real town, which was destroyed on June 14th. An {{advertising}} executive now uses them to test various marketing techniques.]]
