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.

Walking around in the living room, Chen Mu felt a little hungry. There hadn't been any sign of the food that Alfonso said would be sent. Chen Mu knocked on the door where Alfonso was.

"What do you want?" Alfonso opened the door a crack, showing part of his face, which looked unhappy.

He had been working and wasn't very happy to be interrupted by anyone having never experienced it before. These disgusting people from outside! He didn't do anything on the spot, thinking about how the clan elder had charged him with hosting the little furry head.

Chen Mu saw Alfonso perturbed, so he asked very calmly, "I'd like to ask, when will the food be delivered?"

"What a pain!" Alfonso muttered a couple of words and came out to the wall of the living room. Chen Mu then noticed that there was something hanging on the wall that looked like it had been made from a cow horn. Alfonso walked in front of that thing, and lightly touched the middle of the horn with his finger.
