I love all of Andy Weir's books, that's why I was so excited to see Randomize released as part of The Forward Collection. As of this review, I haven't read any of the other short stories, but this one was interesting. Definitely some quantum physics jargon that I didn't fully understand, but I enjoyed the explanation using stoplights lol. Overall it was a quick and entertaining read. Just goes to show how quickly people will do immoral things for reputation.

A Vegas heist where the culprits engages in some quantum entanglement shenanigans. The premise of the heist was interesting. Everything else about it stretched plausibility.

A casino IT admin would not be knowledgeable about cutting edge quantum computing. The first viable quantum computers would go to major world governments for encryption breaking efforts and won’t be available for corporate purchase.

The casino exec would be interested in the deal that ends the book.
