The Card Apprentice

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.

What Sort of Card is this Anyhow?

Chen Mu had never expected that Copper could sneak into a card firm, but when he thought about it, he was relieved. That joker had always been nimble about taking care of things, and he also knew how to talk. No matter what, although Chen Mu didn't understand it, he still had a good deal of confidence in Copper's strengths.

"Why are you dressed up this way?" Chen Mu asked a little puzzled, sizing up Copper top to bottom. Copper smiled mischievously and boasted shamelessly: "I am now considered to be a person of the arts, and this is the most popular style in that circle." In a little bit, he put his head together with Chen Mu and quietly said, "I had no choice. If I didn't dress up like this, I would feel embarrassed saying hello to anyone else."

"How have you been lately?" Copper asked Chen Mu.

"Same as before." Chen Mu felt that his life wasn't any different from before.
