This short story is a bit odd: it deals with Heaven & Hell and judgment, but it also is 100% human. The sci-fi aspect of it (which I am not going into because of spoilers — you can read the story for yourself here and see for yourself: https://www.tor.com/2020/07/01/the-ones-who-look-katharine-duckett/) is something I could see humanity actually doing, right or wrong, once we have the capability for it.

I thought this was a well-crafted story, but too open-ended for my personal tastes. I didn't get any hint of what happened at the end of the story, and even when something is left open to personal interpretation, I like there to be a hint. Now, it's possible that there is a hint there for people who are either more religious than I am (maybe there are hints in the Heaven & Hell aspect that I missed) or people who know more about the actual mechanics of what the programmers did. But if there were hints about what the ending meant, I missed them completely. ( )
