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.

The Devious Xi Ping

By the time he'd finished, Xiaobo's face was pale, though his eyes were surprisingly bright. Once he'd turned off his apparatus, he strode straight over to Chen Mu and said with a fawning face, "I'll be hanging with you, big brother! I'll kill whomever you tell me to kill! I'll be the spear in your hand, the whip you hold…"

With no expression on his face, Chen Mu put out his hand. "First, give me the card."

"No!" Xiaobo's cry of grief really had an impact on those around. He sounded like he was spitting blood and would die. Xiaobo's left hand was tightly covering the apparatus on his right wrist as though he were a fierce woman guarding her chastity.

Seeing Xiaobo's expression, Chen Mu unconsciously raised his fists. Xiaobo was startled to see Chen Mu's clenched fists, and he plunged down to grab Chen Mu by the leg.
