This GenreAnthology contains eleven ScienceFiction stories that were first published in 1960, ranging in length from ShortStory to {{Novelette}}.

!!''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 22 (1960)'' provides examples of:
* TheAloner: Creator/FritzLeiber's "{{Literature/Mariana}}": The titular Mariana lives in the middle of the woods in an advanced technology home with her husband. One day, she finds a hidden control panel, with a switch labeled "Trees". Switching it off means she lives in the middle of a barren desert of rocks, in an advanced home, with her husband. When Jonathan comes home, she explains the accident, turning the new switch, "Home", off. The house disappears. The next switch is labeled "Jonathan", and she turns it off as well. He disappears. The last switch is labeled "Mariana".
* AuthorAvatar: Creator/ArthurCClarke's "Literature/IRememberBabylon": The main POV is a fictionalized account of Clarke, telling the reader about his predictions about satellite communication and a (fictional) meeting with Gene Hartford.
* {{Biography}}: Each story is prefaced by a short description of why this story (from this author) was chosen to represent one of the eleven best stories of the year along with a paragraph from Creator/IsaacAsimov's perspective.
* DistinguishingMark: Creator/WardMoore's "Literature/TheFellowWhoMarriedTheMaxillGirl": Josey Maxill has a large purple birthmark on the left side of her face, but it goes away after the fellow touches her face.
* FantasticDrug: Creator/ChristopherAnvil's "Literature/MindPartner": Jim Calder has been asked to go undercover for the cops and try an unknown drug that they've been unable to get firm details on.
* FourFingeredHands: Creator/WardMoore's "Literature/TheFellowWhoMarriedTheMaxillGirl": The [[CharacterTitle titular fellow]] has only four fingers on each hand, eight fingers total, with no sign of deformity to explain it. The other characters all have ten fingers.
* FunetikAksent: Creator/RickRaphael's "[[Literature/MakeMineHomogenized Make Mine ... Homogenized]]": A few words of dialogue are written in onomatopoeia form, like "Miz" instead of "Miss", "Barneeey" instead of "Barney", or "coulda" instead of "could have". Everyone in this story uses misspelled words to represent colloquial speech to a slight degree.
* IncitingIncident: Creator/FrederikPohl's "Literature/TheDayTheIcicleWorksClosed": The titular event is also the cause of the problems faced by the characters. Milo Pulcher became a lawyer, and now he's defending half a dozen people for [[JustifiedCriminal the crimes they've committed in order to afford staying alive since the major business of the planet closed down]].
* MockingSingSong: Creator/CordwainerSmith' "Literature/TheLadyWhoSailedTheSoul": Helen is mocked as a child for being raised by a single mother by a playground rhyme; ''Helen, Helen, Fat and dumb, Doesn't know where Her daddy's from!''
* NumberedHomeworld: Creator/FrederikPohl's "Literature/TheDayTheIcicleWorksClosed": Altair Nine is the setting for this story; an alien planet with pastel-coloured snow.
* OneWordTitle:
** Creator/HenrySlesar's "{{Literature/Chief}}"
** Creator/FritzLeiber's "{{Literature/Mariana}}"
* ParentalAbandonment: Creator/CordwainerSmith' "Literature/TheLadyWhoSailedTheSoul": Helen's mother deliberately obscured who Helen's father was, and didn't marry until just before she died. Helen had to arrange for college and her future on her own.
* PenName: Creator/ChristopherAnvil: "Literature/MindPartner" is attributed to Mr Anvil, a pseudonym used by Creator/HarryCrosby.
