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 shook his head, "I haven't done a thing for a while." During this 'while', he was working hard digesting basic theory about the token card. 

"So, what have you been busy with these few days?" It seemed to Copper that he had heard something utterly inconceivable. He sat up and looked at Chen Mu. He understood his friend well. He didn't goof off, which is to say that he didn't even have the concept of playing in his head. In Copper's head, Chen Mu seemed like someone who had never known fatigue, had never known being fed up, who put his heart and soul into making progress in his study of fantasy cards, while basically falling well short in any efforts to make progress toward having a good youth. 

Yet today he heard Chen Mu unexpectedly say that there had been a time during which he didn't touch a fantasy card. How would that not make him surprised?

Chen Mu was silent and didn't say a thing. He didn't know how to explain what had happened.
