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 Discussion

The financial capital within reach that they could squander was pitifully small, and so they had to wrack their brains. Their card play couldn't be very long, but it had to draw people in, which as far as Copper was concerned was a rather difficult challenge. He wrote and he wrote, and he revised and he revised.

Although he hadn't started the work of card making, Chen Mu hadn't let up either, as he was already making all kinds of changes to the design in his head. Although the card play wouldn't be complex, increasing its expressive power was still a knotty problem. Their biggest problem was that they didn't have any spare money handy for him to experiment.
