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.

"Boss, are you alright?" Xiaobo approached and asked worriedly. Chen Mu was in a very bad condition. His hair was messy and his bloodshot eyes looked frightening. For the past few days, ordinary team member only had at least three hours of rest but Chen Mu didn't rest for even a second.

Chen Mu's imposing manner was frightening. He was tensed and looked like an overbearing and dangerous beast; someone who might break out and hurt people.
