"Hell Is the Absence of God" is a 2001 novelette by Ted Chiang, first published in ''Starlight'' #3, and subsequently reprinted in ''Year's Best Fantasy 2'', and in ''Fantasy: The Best of 2001'', as well as in Chiang's 2002 anthology, ''Stories of Your Life and Others''. ==Plot== The novelette is set in a world where the existence of God, souls, and hell are provable, and where miracles and angelic visitations are commonplace—albeit not necessarily benevolent: for instance, the protagonist's wife is killed by the collateral damage of an angel's presence, having been "hit by flying glass when the angel's billowing curtain of flame shattered the storefront window of the café in which she was eating. She bled to death within minutes." Chiang has explicitly stated that the story is "straight fantasy,"〔(Ted Chiang interviewed ) at Infinity Plus〕 because it takes place in a universe "in which the scientific method doesn't work."〔Locus, July 2011, Issue 606 (vol. 67, no.1), "Scientific Method: Interview with Ted Chiang"〕
