Audible narration by Janina Gavankar (True Blood)

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.

I could see this narrator being great for many other styles of books, but she was totally wrong for this one. I spent the entire time cringing at her performance. It sounded like every character was trying to talk every other character into bed. This wasn’t a romance novel. It shouldn’t have been read like one.

The story itself was OK but very poorly implemented by the author. I love most visit. I would work, but this seems just phoned in.

Could have been great… but wasn’t.

Like Casino guy I did not understand the math, but found this a fun short story. If I say more it will give too much away. Don't let the quantum math overwhelm you, in the end it is almost a macguffin.

I didn't understand the math either

Okay this is less than 1 hour but what an entertaining hour. So good and perfect. Shawshank was written based on a short story. I see a great movie here.

WTF!!! Very disappointed. Don’t do this too you readers and listeners. Andy weir is better than this, so is audible. Sorry Janina, but you should not have touched this project.

NO! It’s 45min. Waste of an audible credit.
