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 studied the card in front of him. It was simplistic in style and not too fancy, and the entire surface of the card appliance had no decorative designs. He didn't spend much time appreciating its appearance. He only cared about its ease of use.</p>

<p>The most effort spent in making a card appliance was its core—the card! The Child was his own design, albeit there were still many things about it he didn't understand. However, since he knew how it would be used, making a complementary card appliance for it wasn't much of a problem for Chen Mu.</p>
