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.

Chen Mu was thinking deeply as he rode on the shuttle train. The trip was undoubtedly his ultimate danger, especially at the point of getting off. If he could get through it, he wouldn't be so far from true safety.

The trip was all underground for six hours from Eastern Shang-Wei City, and the shuttle train couldn't stop in the middle.

Chen Mu carefully looked around where he was sitting. He'd already ridden the train quite a few times and was no stranger to it.

There was a woman of about thirty sitting next to him, wearing pain clothes without any accessories, who looked very kind.

"The Legend of Master Shi" was still playing in the coach. The workers on the train had made it their standard fare for the train when they found out how well it was received.
