About this listen
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.

Andy Weir's writing is always a pleasure to read, cleanly formatted, based round hard science yet very human. Narration was by Janina Gavankar, who read with precision, nicely timed and well modulated: she was a pleasure to hear.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and feel that many of the reviews here have been rather harsh in their judgement: hard to explain the complexities of the science and tell a neat little story in around forty minutes. And, if the book is purchased for under a pound, or borrowed through Kindle Unlimited, the audio comes free. Bargain ! So give it a try and decide for yourself.
