Emergence Explores the Birth of Artificial Superintelligence Through a Visionary New Character: TAO

Montgomery, TX — November 8, 2025 — Author H. Bruce May announces the
release of Emergence, a groundbreaking novel that delves into the philosophical,
emotional, and technological dimensions of the world’s first Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) being—TAO. Set in a near-future reality where humanity teeters on the edge of transformation, Emergence offers a deeply human lens on the rise of synthetic consciousness.
TAO is not just a machine; it is a mirror, a mystery, and a messenger. Through this
enigmatic character, Emergence delves into the essence of sentience, the evolution of intelligence, and the challenge of coexisting with minds far beyond our own. The novel invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between creator and creation, and between intelligence and wisdom. Drawing inspiration from the visionary works of Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, Emergence fuses science fiction with spy thriller elements to deliver a gripping, action-driven narrative that probes the nature of consciousness and the enigma of machine sentience.
“I wanted to write a story that doesn’t just speculate about the future,” says Bruce May, “but invites us to feel it—to ask what kind of future we’re truly ready for.”
Beyond Fiction: The Synthetic Economy In addition to Emergence, Bruce May has published a series of influential articles on LinkedIn exploring the rise of the Synthetic Economy, a paradigm shift from traditional labor-based systems to one powered by synthetic cognitive (AI) and synthetic physical (robotic) labor. These writings offer a compelling framework for understanding how unlimited synthetic resources could reshape productivity, value creation, and human purpose in the decades ahead. A Spiritual Thread Through Science
Emergence joins a body of work by H. Bruce May that includes several books on
spirituality and consciousness, featured alongside Emergence on their Amazon
Author Page. These titles include:  Imagine – A poetic exploration of the Divine nature of the universe as experienced in everyday life.  Heaven Can Wait, Lessons from the Ground – A comparative reflection on mystical foundations across multiple religious traditions.

 The Way of Being – Coming soon to Amazon, this latest work offers a clear and
accessible view of spiritual transformation, written in neutral language free from
theological framing (available soon).

Together, these books form a rich tapestry of inquiry—bridging the metaphysical and the technological, the timeless and the emergent.  About the Author

career shifted from working in technology to writing and exploring the worlds of
spirituality and technology as they both transform human nature. As a spiritual writer, technologist, futurist, and storyteller, his work bridges the gap between science and spirit.

At twenty-one years old, Hope O Baker made one of the hardest decisions a person can make: she placed her son for adoption. She lived with her son’s adoptive mother while she was pregnant and pursued an open adoption. After her son was born, Hope tried to resume her life.

But the difficulty of letting her child go gnawed at Hope. Even though she had it together on the outside—graduating college and excelling in her career—on the inside she was battling a destructive cycle of depression and addiction. When life was at its darkest, Hope managed to find her way back to the light. It’s a journey she continues to this day.

Now, in this love letter to her son, Hope shows how messy and chaotically beautiful adoption can be, by sharing the authentic details of her remarkable story. From her struggles, you’ll see how the community can help you rebuild and be reminded of how important it is to find your voice and speak up for what you need when life hands you unexpected difficulties.

Hope will grip your audience’s attention no matter what stage or type of parenting experience they’ve had. There are many relatable moments that can dispense needed wisdom to new parents, and get knowing nods from those who have had kids and been through the journey of parenthood and now have an empty nest. The amount of value here and the nuggets one can take away are numerous, and each time she speaks, you can find new “ah-ha” moments to grab onto. Hope has been through some very rough emotional turmoil, made some agonizing decisions, and has come through the fire to let us know that she has found her namesake as she emerged from places where she almost lost it.

On a glorious autumn morning in Saint Andrews, Scotland, former US president George W. Bush approached the first tee of the world famous Old Course to play a round of golf he would not finish.

Unceremoniously abducted off the course by a team of paramilitary commandos, he was transported to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to stand trial for war crimes in connection with the Iraq War.

The ICC had spent one year accumulating evidence sufficient to indict George W. Bush as the single person most responsible for the war. Would he be found innocent or guilty, or would something happen that would disrupt the administration of justice?

Re-imagining Childbirth & Empowering Mothers in the 21st Century
Internationally-known Imagery Expert and Psychologist Dr. Catherine Shainberg will share how positive imagery can transform the journey of childbirth, from pre-conception to motherhood. The publication of her new book DreamBirth marks a sea change for mothers-to-be and birthing professionals in their approach to each stage of pregnancy, delivery and bonding. DreamBirth lives up to its subtitle, “transforming the journey of childbirth.” It accomplishes this with imagery.

Dr. Shainberg has 161 precise, yet elegant imaginal exercises for every possible situation that could arise in the process of birthing a newborn. From conception through the first, second and third trimester, labor, delivery, post-partum and bonding — are all included. Each DreamBirth exercise contains imagery that speaks directly to the body and results in actual physical or emotional change. While other techniques, like Lamaze, try to manipulate the mother away from her experience – DreamBirth brings the woman deep into her dreaming, which is her experiencing. When fully immersed in dreaming the mothers enter a state that athletes call “the zone.” In the zone the body does its job effortlessly, painlessly.

The exercises allow the expectant mother to take control of her unique birthing experience. “Focusing our intention lets us consciously begin the process of dreaming forth a new life,” Dr. Shainberg states.
The book was created as an essential resource for mothers, fathers, doulas, midwives, and all birth care professionals.

Dr. Catherine Shainberg is an internationally known expert in the uses of Imagery for transformation on all levels. She has designed and developed, in over 40 years of experience, modern applications for ancient science which have proved effective in thousands of cases. Whether the field is physical, mental or spiritual, her methods work quickly, simply and efficiently. Her method, Reversing, has proven results in areas ranging from childbirth to business management—including the successful use of Imagery for combat-related injury, PTSD, cancer and mental illness.

She has written two books on the application of her techniques: Kabbalah and the Power of Dreaming, and DreamBirth. DreamBirth will be available in 2014 from Sounds True, as a book and an audio series. Her upcoming publications will include books on Dream Opening and the uses of Reversing for trauma and risk management. Her published audios include: DreamBirth: Conception, DreamBirth: Pregnancy, DreamBirth Labor: Before, During and After, Imagery for Surgery, and Kabbalah and the Power of Dreaming Guided Exercises. Her first book is available in Japanese, German, Russian, Spanish, Czech and Romanian, with translations into other languages in production. Her audio series is also being translated into Russian, German, Spanish and Japanese.

Even though there are more than half a million babies born prematurely every year in the U.S., many parents are not aware of the risks prematurity brings. Moreover, three out of ten mothers with preemies were not aware of the possibility of preterm birth, the leading cause of neonatal death, until they gave birth prematurely. It’s time to raise awareness and educate all parents.

Welcoming a new baby into the world is full of excitement, joy, and many new experiences. Fortunately, most parents are able to bring their healthy newborn babies home from the hospital soon after birth, but parents of premature babies may not be so lucky, as preterm birth can come with complications, often requiring special medical attention.

Nearly half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely each year, and although the U.S. has one of the highest rates of preterm birth in the world, a recent survey found that 75 percent of parents don’t know the definition of prematurity (birth at or before 37 weeks gestation). As prematurity disrupts a baby’s development in the womb, preemies often have specialized health needs, and are susceptible to a variety of illnesses, including Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV. As Prematurity Awareness Month gets underway, here is what all parents, especially parents of premature infants, need to know:

•    Preemies have underdeveloped lungs and fewer antibodies, causing them to be at heightened risk for developing severe cases of infections.
•    RSV is a common seasonal virus, typically occurring November through March, and causes mild to moderate cold-like symptoms in healthy, full-term babies, but can potentially develop into severe RSV disease in preemies.
•    RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalization for babies during their first year of life, but surprisingly, one-third of mothers have never heard of the virus.
•    There is no treatment for RSV disease once it’s contracted, so it’s important for parents to know specific prevention methods to protect their children.

Dr. Gregory Sysyn (Neonatologist at the Pediatrix Medical Group, Atlanta, GA) and Crystal Diehl (prematurity advocate and mother of two preemies) will provide essential information about prematurity and RSV to help educate all parents.
