I don’t consider aliens or supercomputers juvenile, but I got to point out: there is a computer in “The Nine Billion Names of God”, but it’s hardly a supercomputer. Printing out a list of permutations of letters given some rules is something just about any computer could do, when hooked up to the right kind of printer.
