	The Nine Billion Names of God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nine Billion Names of God is a famous 1953 short story by Arthur C. Clarke; the phrase also appears in the title of a collection of Clarke's short stories, The Nine Billion Names of God: The Best Short Stories of Arthur C. Clarke (1967).

		The computer operators are skeptical, but the monks believe that when the computer has printed all the names, existence will lose all meaning, and God will "wind up" the universe.

	mixing fiction with philosophy - Literature Network Forums
		By copying and pasting, some fiction writers who, I think, incorporate much philosophy in their stories, to name a few: Leo Tolstoy, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), D.H. Lawrence, Giovanni Boccaccio, and, of course, Jean-Paul Sartre.
		Ethics probably seems the easiest area of philosophy to add to fiction, but I think, also, many of the epic writers and poets have contributed nearly every type of philosophy in thier material, such as those by Homer, Ovid, Virgil, Seneca, Terence, Dante, and many more.
		Don't forget Eco's The Name Of the Roses and Foucalt's Pendulum.
