Asynchrony means that when multiple processes work in parallel
at different rates and/or communicate through media whose speed
and reliability is unknown, you can never know for sure
which messages of multiple messages sent will be received first.
If clients A and B both send requests to server C,
either may be served first, and the face of the world will be changed.
