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

<p>Star Academy's second student exchange session had finally arrived! But the Eastern Wei Academy scholars who had been through the excitement of the first time weren't making such a big fuss about it then. That was except for the strong students and teachers, like Hong Tao, who were really amazed, since the students from Star Academy were then quite a bit stronger than the first time, almost every one of immeasurable strength.</p>

<p>"Qing Qing is here!" There was some affection in the way that Wang Ze welcomed her, along with a hint of respect. Yin Chenjiu and the rest alongside him had adoring faces, slightly bowing, giving those who didn't know the impression that they were welcoming their lead teacher.</p>
