Very short review. 
 I am going to find this book hard to review. It was a mixed bag for me. A liked the concept, the Chinese theme, the narration, the characters and pretty much most of it, but the tech side at times just threw my concentration level out of the window. 
 For the first half of the book, you sit there wondering what you have gotten yourself into, it isn't clear what you are reading genre wise. Then you are feed a little piece at a time and you beginning to see the bigger picture. The introduction of a computer game changes the story and immerses you into something new and...well.... out there. 
 Overall, I did enjoy it, it was different and interesting. If you can phase out during the high tech parts, which is probably easier reading than listening and enjoy the story for what it is, then I think you won't be disappointed.
