Fang Xiang

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>Chen Mu had entered the woods in a flash, having just discovered someone observing them from the dark. When the tailless shuttle left his hand, it had hit the man in the shoulder. The tailless shuttle had a confusing peculiarity, which was that it's flight would get faster the father it went. At the outset, the enemy would have gotten its initial speed, which wasn't very fast, but its tail would be continually dissolving as its speed got faster and faster, until it had reached a frightening speed.</p>

<p>That guy in hiding had taking a hit because of that. He had originally thought he could dodge it, but hadn't realized that the shuttle's speed would increase, so he was surprised, and he couldn't dodge it and got hit in the shoulder.</p>
