About this book

In the near future, an IT specialist at the Babylon Casino is hired to upgrade security for the game of keno and its random-number generator using a new quantum computer system designed to be foolproof. However, someone working inside the casino may have found a way around it. The outcome depends on whether human ingenuity can still outmaneuver advanced technology. Randomize is part of Forward, a collection of six stories set in the near and far future by various authors. Each story can be read or listened to in a single sitting. The audiobook features narration by Janina Gavankar.
