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

The shrill sound of the impact hurt Mose's ear drums, but at that moment it was like the most heavenly sound in the world.

A soft golden vine blocked the chill!

The guards next to Mose suddenly reacted, and their expressions changed drastically, desperate to protect Mose.

Suddenly a guard squinted, and yelled while pointing towards the air, "Look out!"

Before he could finish speaking, the empty space rippled, and the surrounding landscape suddenly looked imaginary.

Mose's bodyguards were experienced soldiers, so they did not hesitate to attack despite their fear. They immediately attacked.

Dirt flew up from the force of the attacks from so many bodyguards, leaving a huge hole in the ground!
