Our Tragic Universe by Scarlett Thomas (PhileasHannay)
PhileasHannay: The protagonist of this novel reads a book about the Omega Point, rather similar to Tipler's, and the characters spend much time discussing its implications.

Good read but a bit heavy on the examples. (

It's a wild idea, God as the infinite Turing Machine at the collapse of the universe. (

While this looked promising, the argument was based on a premise, given early in the book, that I couldn't in conscience accept. The physics has since not panned out, either (looks as if the universe is not set to collapse). Oh well.
