Well, that was kind of bad. I have read & liked a couple of short pieces by this author before, so I'm really surprised. I did not like any of the characters and couldn't sympathize with their goals.

The quantum-computing content was explained well enough for me to follow, even though I don't know anything about the topic. That wasn't the problem, but it also wasn't exciting.

Overall, it feels like an episode of a bad TV show. These are character types, not characters.
