The Terrible Answer

About the author
Very little biographical information was easy to confirm, but library-style sources do identify Arthur G. Hill as a science fiction author and give his life dates as 1928–2008.
He is most closely associated with "The Terrible Answer," a short story that remains available through public-domain and classic-audio collections. That lasting visibility suggests a writer whose work has outlived its original magazine moment and continues to appeal to readers who enjoy older, idea-driven science fiction.
Because reliable published details about his personal life appear limited, his reputation is best approached through the surviving fiction itself: compact, imaginative storytelling from the era when sci-fi magazines introduced readers to strange futures, unsettling questions, and big concepts in a few memorable pages.
