Scott Adams' God's Debris (2001) creates a cohesive but iconoclast philosophical universe via Occam's Razor that surmises our universe's omnipotent God annihilated himself and exists now as the smallest units of matter and the law of probability, or "God's debris." He offers recommendations on everything from an alternative theory for planetary motion to successful recipes for relationships under his system. He hypothesizes that God is currently reassembling himself though the continued formation of a collective intelligence, modern examples including the development of the Internet. He bills God's Debris as a thought experiment, challenging readers to differentiate scientifically accepted theories from "creative baloney."

It is interesting to note that the February 11, 1996 Dilbert strip has Dogbert expanding on the notion that great things are created from simple parts, and therefore a supreme being would not be in the past, but in the future.

Given Adams' fame as the author of the Dilbert comics, publishers were wary of publishing any book by Adams without Dilbert content. The book was therefore released initially as an eBook (with comparatively small "publishing" costs). Based on its rapid success, however, it was also quickly released in hardcover format.
