"The Nine Billion Names of God" is a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke, published in 1953. It is about an order of Tibetan monks who purchase a computer for the purpose of transcribing every possible name of God according to a formula of their own devising, a purpose they have been working toward for centuries and that was expected to take a further 15,000 years, but with the help of a computer can be completed in a mere 100 days.
