Monkey novel

In English, there are 26 letters (to which one might add a handful of punctuation marks, capital letters etc.). But for now, let's restrict ourselves to 26. This lets us calculate various things.

There could exist, therefore, at max:

• 26 one-letter 'words'
• 26 by 26 two-letter words
• 26 to the power of 100 one-hundred-letter emails
• And as for books, there would be 26 to the power of a million (assuming 200,000 words averaging five letters per word).

You know the one about the monkeys and the typewriters, don't you? (If not.)The permutations that a bunch of simians would create are mostly going to consist of gibberish. They wouldn't make sense. They deserve to be tossed into the wastepaper basket. 

Nevertheless, just as for our hologram gallery, the set of 26 to the power of 1,000,000 permutations would include every book or piece of text ever written (by every author, not just William Shakespeare). They'd tell every story ever told, every history, every narrative in every alternate universe. Everything that anyone could live, imagine or dream.
