Hell Is The Absence Of God by Ted Chiang
This speculative fiction story delves into a world where the existence of God, angels, and the afterlife is undeniable and manifest through frequent, visible miracles and angelic visitations. However, these divine interventions often result in as much harm as they do good, leading to a complex exploration of faith, love, and the pursuit of spiritual clarity. The narrative follows several characters as they navigate personal tragedies and miracles, each seeking understanding and solace in a reality where divine presence is palpable yet inscrutably indifferent. Through their intertwined journeys, the story examines the profound implications of divine evidence on human belief, suffering, and the quest for heavenly ascension or the dread of eternal separation.
