Chiang thinks of “Hell is the Absence of God” as a story about the problem of evil. But it is also a story about the problem of divine hiddenness—roughly, the problem that there is, in our world, not as much evidence for the existence of God as one would expect if God exists. Of course, in the story, God is not at all hidden; there are regular angelic visitations! And yet not everyone is devout. The story provides a framework for a new response to the argument from divine hiddenness, which I formulate in this chapter.
