Race Against the Clock: In "Summertime On Icarus", by Arthur C. Clarke, the main character is an astronaut on an asteroid close to the sun with only an hour left until dawn. Dawn, this close to the sun, will burn them alive. The plot is about their efforts to avoid that very painful death. | |

Job-Stealing Robot | |
| The Worlds of Science Fiction (1979) / int_514491f | comment |
Job-Stealing Robot: In "The Last Of The Romany", by Norman Spinrad, the characters discuss how automation has removed many aspects of jobs, but there is still a need for human analysis and decision-making. The job that machines have completely eliminated, however, is the Romany, or gypsies. | |

Multiple Narrative Modes | |
| The Worlds of Science Fiction (1979) / int_62df7833 | comment |
Multiple Narrative Modes: In "I Dreamer", by Walter M Miller Jr, the first few paragraphs are presented in limited third person (and this perspective is shown in italics). The perspective is limited to a very young baby. The perspective changes to the protagonist telling the story in first person. Later in the story we learn that both the baby and the "robot" are probably the same person. | |

| The Worlds of Science Fiction (1979) / int_c3bdfbb9 | comment |
Let's You and Him Fight: In "The Shrines Of Earth", by Robert Silverberg, humanity has spread to the stars. Terrans manipulate the three strongest colonies into sending spaceships to defend their respective homelands from each other. They manipulated them in order to create a standing army to defend Earth from the alien Hrossi's expected invasion because the colony planets would otherwise ignore Earth's claim to defense. | |
