This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world.  Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice.  The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos –  human and nonhuman –  into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more.  Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

The Card Apprentice

That also announced to Chen Mu that he should put down the fantasy card that he was making. Making money was the most important thing then, and there was still time for those other fantasy cards.

Zuo Tingyi ran into Wang Ze at the school, along with several of the exchange students from Star Academy. Everyone was familiar with Zuo Tingyi, and called out their greetings.

Seeing Zuo Tingyi made Wang Ze very happy, "Just as I've been anxiously looking for someone, Tingyi is delivered to my door!"

Zuo Tingyi was a little surprised to see how they were dressed, "Are you planning to go somewhere?"

Wang Ze smiled brightly, "Yep! We've gotten so busy at school that a few of us decided to wander around in the open area, but we haven't found anyone who knows the way yet. Brother Tao seems to have a date with some girl student today, and without any time left I have to grab someone." A few of the people around him chuckled.
