In a world much like our own, the existence of Heaven and Hell are objectively proven. Indeed, the souls in Hell can be seen, and angels occasionally come to Earth, typically causing a mixture of miraculous events and capricious disasters.

Review
 

Instead Neil became actively resentful of God. Sarah had been the greatest blessing of his life, and God had taken her away. Now he was expected to love Him for it? For Neil, it was like having a kidnapper demand love as ransom for his wife's return. Obedience he might have managed, but sincere, heartfelt love? That was a ransom he couldn't pay.

"Hell is the Absence of God" adalah novela yang ditulis oleh Ted Chiang yang dipublikasikan pada 2001 dan memenangkan penghargaan Hugo dan Nebula di tahun 2002.
"Hell is the Absence of God" bercerita tentang sebuah dunia tempat manusia tahu bahwa surga dan neraka itu ada, sesuatu yang tidak perlu diragukan lagi. Semua orang bisa melihat para malaikat turun ke bumi, membawa dampak yang bisa mematikan, dan melihat mereka terbang ke tempat lain.
