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.

The premise of a good story but only just

Reviewed in Australia on 22 September 2019

Be mindful of the number of pages for this read and the context it is written.

As part of a six story narrative this is not even a short story.

What Weir has written is more a pros of a more promising story a summary statement for a book he may never actually write.

Quantum computing mixed with casinos, keno and scammers is a cute idea and true to his style of writing Andy Weir still manages a pop culture reference while also detailing the extremes his non caucasian Indian scammers will go to.

The woman is the smartest person in the room and also a quantum physicist. Of course though she is non white, Indian and down on her luck, poor but too good for anyone else.
Is it racist that the scammer/hackers were Indian, or is Weir just channelling his last novel Artimis.

I find books that try too hard, Pro fem non white pop culture references, for the sake of if- A bit on the nose but generally Weir is OK.

This narrative does little more though than to start a thought process about a little bit of science that ultimately goes no where.

Funnily enough, many of these quantum computing concepts make more sense to me now, especially when it is used in a story such as this. Have a read, see if you’re sucked in by Weir’s Magic as well.

Whether it's in long form or short, Andy Weir's writing never disappoints. Absolutely fantastic read, and, as always, deeply researched.

Quantum crime

Reviewed in Australia on 24 November 2021

It's interesting to see the possibilities of quantum computing being incorporated into fiction. I wouldn't describe this quick read as gripping, but for novelty alone it was worthwhile.

Lots of detail in a small story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2019

Verified Purchase

I picked this up as I have read all of Andy Weir’s books but I didn’t read any other books from the Forward Collection. I loved The Martian but his books since have been disappointing.

This book is short and really heavy on the detail. There is a lot of geeky science talk about quantum computing and pseudorandom number generation and entangled qbits and how that would affect the massive Las Vegas gambling industry. But essentially, this is a basic heist story and the characters were unappealing and hard to care about.

I think this possibly might have done better as a full sized book with more time dedicated to the plot and characters but this condensed version just didn’t work for me.

A Close Second

Originally I thought 'You Have Arrived At Your Destination' was my second favourite of the Forward Collection of books, but I would put this story very close to it, if not just above.

I really liked the twists and turns in the narrative of the story, which added unpredictability to it when it seemed as though I knew exactly where it was going.

It was a good way to end the Forward Collection of books, which I overall really enjoyed and would highly recommend.

Techno Heist

This is Weir’s version of a Quantum computing heist movie, which should be boring but he has a talent for breaking down big ideas and using them in a way which is fascinating and exciting.

I've been a fan of Andy Weir since reading the Egg on his website 10 years ago. Randomize is another clever short story that is well written and has a great twist.

I love Andy Weir's stories. They keep you on tenterhooks and you feel for the main characters. I'll be looking out for his next one.
