----
!!Tropes appearing in this work:
* AfterTheEnd: "{{Literature/Emergence}}", a {{Novelette}} by Creator/DavidRPalmer, takes place after a combined nuclear and biological apocalypse.
* TheAllConcealingI:
** In "Literature/FarCentaurus", by Creator/AEVanVogt, Bill narrates the events of his trip through space to the UsefulNotes/LocalStars.
** In "Twilight", by Creator/DonAStuart, the [[FramingDevice first and last]] narrator of this story isn't clearly defined, just that they're a friend to Jim Bendell.
* EpistolaryNovel: In "{{Literature/Emergence}}", by Creator/DavidRPalmer, the storytelling relies on a very distinct character voice, where the premise of the {{Novella}} is a [[TeenGenius preteen genius]] who is keeping a journal of events, leaving out words to make her sentences more concise.
* EvolutionaryLevels: In "{{Literature/Emergence}}", the {{Novella}} by Creator/DavidRPalmer, the protagonist (and many others) are mankind's next evolutionary step; ''Homo post hominem'', a race of humans that will naturally take over from ''Homo sapiens''. There are Russians who detest that idea so much that they’re willing to render the entire planet uninhabitable by both species.
* FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue: In "Literature/FarCentaurus", by Creator/AEVanVogt, none of the four space explorers are described, nor is much detail about the ship given.
* FramingDevice: In "Twilight", by Creator/JohnWCampbell:
** The [[TheAllConcealingI unnamed friend]] of Jim Bendell is visiting, and Jim tells him a story about a hitchhiker that he found.
** Jim Bendell picked up a hitchhiker, who tells him a story about TimeTravel.
* FutureSlang: In "Literature/FarCentaurus", by Creator/AEVanVogt, the four space explorers learn that the common tongue they had spoken has gradually changed and shifted, altering over time. The one example given (since their translator studied middle period American for years to be ready to help them), "Yes" is more commonly pronounced "Yeih".
* LightspeedLeapfrog: In "Literature/FarCentaurus", a ShortStory by Creator/AEVanVogt, a group of four are trying to be the first to reach Alpha Centauri, but along the way somebody up and goes and discovers FasterThanLightTravel, making their effort entirely pointless.
* {{Novelette}}:
** "Literature/TheDeadPast", by Creator/IsaacAsimov
** "{{Literature/Emergence}}", by Creator/DavidRPalmer
** "Literature/OfMistAndGrassAndSand", by Creator/VondaNMcIntyre
** "Twilight", by Creator/DonAStuart
* OneWordTitle:
** "{{Literature/Emergence}}", the {{Novella}} by Creator/DavidRPalmer.
** "Twilight", by Creator/DonAStuart
* OurWormholesAreDifferent: In "Literature/FarCentaurus", a ShortStory by Creator/AEVanVogt, advanced science has determined that "bachelor stars" are able to get rid of nearby matter by shunting it away in space-time. The characters use this fact to [[TimeTravel travel back in time]] to before their journey into space and return home to their time period.
* PenName: For this {{Anthology}}, Creator/JohnWCampbell's "Twilight" is published under the name Creator/DonAStuart.
* TheSlowPath: In "Literature/FarCentaurus", a ShortStory by Creator/AEVanVogt, the protagonists are travelling to [[UsefulNotes/LocalStars the Centarus system]] to prove a SleeperStarship is capable of travelling the vast distances of interstellar space. However, they neglected the progress of science on Earth, and [[LightspeedLeapfrog discover that there's already people who have been there for generations]].
* SwitchingPOV: In "Twilight", by Creator/DonAStuart, the perspective starts in the perspective of [[TheAllConcealingI the unnamed friend]], shifts into [[FirstPersonPerspective Jim Waters Bendell]]'s perspective, then into Ares Sen Kenlin's perspective. As the story draws to an end, we switch back into Jim's perspective and then the unnamed friend's perspective.
* TeenGenius: In "{{Literature/Emergence}}", the {{Novella}} by Creator/DavidRPalmer, all members of ''[[EvolutionaryLevels Homo post hominem]]'' are smarter than human average, including Candy (11), and Adam (13).
* TeleFrag: In "Literature/SleepNoMore", a ShortStory by Creator/JamesHSchmitz, Telzey is being chased by a teleporting monster that homes in on her thoughts. She finds that by imagining a location, she can trick it into appearing there. So she projects the mental image of a cave in a nearby cliff. Except there isn't a cave in the cliff, and the monster materialises in solid rock.
