First published in 1980 under the title ''The Arbor House Treasury of Modern Science Fiction'', this GenreAnthology was edited by Creator/RobertSilverberg and Creator/MartinHGreenberg. It was [[OrwellianRetcon republished under the title]] ''Great Science Fiction of the 20th Century'' in 1987 under the Avenel Books imprint of William Morrow & Company (who would complete their purchase of Creator/ArborHouse in 1988).
Inspired by ''Literature/TheBestOfScienceFiction'' by Creator/GroffConklin and ''Literature/AdventuresInTimeAndSpace'' by editors Creator/RaymondJHealy and Creator/JFrancisMcComas (both published in 1946), the ''Great Science Fiction of the 20th Century'' anthology attempts to be a SpiritualSuccessor, collecting stories only between the years of 1947 and 1976. The majority of these stories are {{Novelette}} or longer.
