Randomize

Interesting discussion on the effects of quantum computing, which isn't necessarily a too far away possibility, and how this may affect existing logical computer systems and encryption processes that are widespread currently. Plot is kind of dull, as well as the characters, but I found that thinking about the effect of quantum computing on day to day computer infrastructure and the security threats that they could potentially pose was pretty interesting.

From more of the techie side, I think there might be ways to generate essentially ‘truly' random numbers with current systems such as having a seed that changes constantly that is based off of something that is truly random such as live images of lava lamps (Details here) vs a static seed that could be eventually determined. This approach to including true randomness (vs pseudo randomness) I think helps make existing systems more secure.

There are interesting technological discussion on entanglement, how technology can both be beneficial and potentially cause some problems in the future, etc.
Overall, actually enjoyed this short story and made for interesting discussions.
