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.

Three faceted blue crystals lay quietly at the bottom of the spring, which was where the intense energy fluctuations were coming from. Chen Mu carefully picked them out of the hot spring and looked at them closely. They had a standard faceted shape and were completely free of impurities, like pure sapphire. The biggest was about the size of a fingernail, and the smallest was the size of a soybean.

But it was those little bits of crystal that had been disseminating such intense energy fluctuations. He could only imagine what level of energy density they contained!

The three blue crystals weren't among the materials Chen Mu was familiar with. Even so, he knew he had found a treasure. Materials that could be used to make cards had the common characteristic that they had to be compatible with energy. The three crystals contained a terrifying amount of energy and must have had an outrageous energy compatibility.
