Randomize (Forward Short Story Collection) by Andy Weir - Starting September 27th 2019

[GridGirl]

In the near future, if Vegas games are ingeniously scam-proof, then the heists have to be too, in this imaginative and whip-smart story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Martian.

An IT whiz at the Babylon Casino is enlisted to upgrade security for the game of keno and its random-number generator. The new quantum computer system is foolproof. But someone on the inside is no fool. For once the odds may not favor the house—unless human ingenuity isn’t entirely a thing of the past.

Andy Weir’s Randomize is part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.

(view spoiler)[Already bored and not liking this one. Don't really care for all the computer mumbo jumbo and the idea of the technology stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

(view spoiler)[All this computer talk isn't for me, but I love how they are trying to scam the casino! HA! (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

(view spoiler)[ Started off eh, but I enjoyed the ending. Still, definitely not my favorite. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I preferred this one over 'You Have Reached Your Destination'. The computer stuff is way over my head but I felt like the author did a great job of making it easy to keep up with despite my lack of knowledge with tech lol. I adored each of the characters. Chen's enthusiasm when setting up the quantum computer was adorable. My favorite part though was definitely Sumi and Edwin striking their bargain at the end. (hide spoiler)]

1/4(view spoiler)[ Another one with lots of sciencey talk straight away! It makes it a little difficult to get into when straight away it's all about quantum computers and randomizing. He seems like a reasonable casino boss though, actually listening to his employees. (hide spoiler)]

2/4 (view spoiler)[ Sumi is a character I'd like to read more about. She clearly knows what she's on about, but it'd be too easy for it all to go to plan. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

3/4 (view spoiler)[ She knew how to manipulate him to get what she wants! I wonder if she'd hold up her end of the deal. It was the most exciting part of this story. (hide spoiler)]

4/4 (view spoiler)[ This one was okay-just okay. A decent concept but I don't think I'll remember much of this in a months time. (hide spoiler)]
