First published in 1980 by editors Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/MartinHGreenberg. This GenreAnthology contains seventeen ScienceFiction stories that were first published in 1941, 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.
Five stories by Creator/RobertAHeinlein were selected for inclusion; "Literature/AndHeBuiltACrookedHouse", "{{Literature/They}}", "{{Literature/Universe}}", "Literature/SolutionUnsatisfactory", and "Literature/ByHisBootstraps". However, obtaining legal use within the deadline for publication was not possible, so the editors direct the reader to ''Literature/PastThroughTomorrow'', which does contain all five stories (actually the [[Literature/IsaacAsimovPresentsTheGreatScienceFictionStoriesVolume041942 next book]] apologizes because none of these were actually in the suggested volume).

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Creator/FredricBrown's name is misspelled on the table of contents as Fred'''e'''ric Brown.
* {{Spoonerism}}: Creator/TheodoreSturgeon's "Literature/ShottleBop": The owner of the titular shop frequently mangles words together; "text Nuesday" instead of "next Tuesday", "Bood-gy" instead of "Good-by", and "Shottle Bop" instead of "Bottle Shop".
* StableTimeLoop: Creator/MauriceAHugi's "Literature/MechanicalMice": Burman has figured out that the future is just as immutable and unchanging as the past by building a TimeMachine that allows him to observe the future for several minutes at a time.
* TimeMachine: Creator/MauriceAHugi's "Literature/MechanicalMice": Burman's psychophone allows the user to travel forward in time, but they're limited to only observing the future, not interacting with it. He ends up destroying it since the StableTimeLoop means he'd only invent things that he'd be able to invent without the machine.
