Where Do We Go from Here?

Where Do We Go from Here? is an anthology edited by Isaac Asimov. It was first published by Doubleday in 1971.

The collection was deliberately created to show that science fiction, in Asimov's words, "has the potential as an inspiring and useful teaching device." His stated goal in the introduction is to "inspire curiosity and lead the student into lines of questioning of his own that may interest and excite him, and may even determine the future direction of his career." After each story, Asimov comments on the story's scientific authenticity and historical context and then poses questions to the reader to make them think about the contents.
