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

FRANK SINATRA LYRICS

“That’s Life”

That’s life (that’s life), that’s what all the people say
You’re ridin’ high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June

I said that’s life (that’s life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
’cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin’ around

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life (that’s life), I tell you I can’t deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try
I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin’ flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life (that’s life), that’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My, my!
