Liu seems to cut out most of what would make this a more engaging story. The technical aspects of his Sum Space are almost wholly ignored, as is how the power and information grids survived the famines and (presumably) wars that should have been part of his 4H scenario. There is little effective descriptive text, which is a shame when it comes to world-building.The story is fine if a little too simple. There really needs to be more examination (rather than just statement) of the protagonist's relationship with his father.  There also should be some explanation as to why the Sym eyes matter.
