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

It had been a week since the ambush on Borman City. The incident that had caused a major uproar in the Heavenly Drum Village District had since been gradually forgotten by the people. Not only those from the district, but the attention of everyone in the Heavenly Federation was also focused instead on another city in the Heavenly Drum Village District—Qianhu City.

Qianhu was one of the oldest cities in the Heavenly Drum Village District. It had been tremendously prosperous since the age of the sects.

"This place is really smack dab in the center of everyone's attention!" exclaimed a reporter as he was jostled by his fellow reporters milling about everywhere.
