First published in 1979 by editors Isaac Asimov and Martin H. Greenberg, under the title Isaac Asimov Presents the Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 1 (1939). This Genre Anthology contains twenty Science Fiction stories that were first published in 1939, ranging in length from Short Story 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); }) |

All Just a Dream: In "The Strange Flight Of Richard Clayton", by Robert Bloch, several times Clayton lands on Mars, only to die and realize that the ship hadn't landed yet. Clayton didn't even leave Earth; the rocket's engines failed in a way that made it too dangerous to approach for a week and the constant shaking was driving Clayton insane. |
