Out of the Everywhere is a 1990 collection of seventeen scientific essays written by American writer and scientist Isaac Asimov and originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.[1] The book's title comes from the opening lines of George Macdonald's poem "Baby":

"Where did you come from, baby dear?"
"Out of the everywhere into here."[2]
