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

Tai-shu Yong's vision swiftly turned far and deep, and he gently sighed. "The world is changing fast. It's so unexpected. The Heavenly Federation is in disunity, and the Big Six take the lead on their own. Faya is observing secretly in wait of opportunity, which is causing a big mess. Even though we, the Tai-shu family, have the desire to restore our former glory, we know our capability well. The aspiration to conquer the world is nothing but a joke to us. Moreover, it's not easy to stay safe in this chaotic world."

Chen Mu listened patiently to Tai-shu Yong talking about those irrelevant issues. Deep in his heart, though, he agreed with Tai-shu Yong's thought. The world was different now; the era belonged to the Big Six and to Faya but didn't belong to the families who had declined.

The old man suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to Tai-shu Cheng. "Call Ying for me."

That’s It
