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
H. Bruce May is a former executive in broadband communication technologies. His
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. With Emergence, they offer a bold new narrative for the age of artificial intelligence, one that is as poetic as it is provocative.

The Floating Bed Co. just opened a new office in Austin, TX

The World’s first true Wellness Bed is now available for you to personally experience in Austin.
The new company office and demo location is at 4609 Laurel Canyon Dr, Austin, TX 78731. The local office manager is Alo Brewer. Call 737 786 3115.

After 20 years of success in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami, the Floating Bed Company has just opened a
new location in Austin. We welcome anyone who wants to experience this new way to relax and sleep to come
try it, to see what all the buzz is about. Demos are by appointment, and at no cost to you.
Everyone wants to live longer, & better. Scientific studies find that the 4 best indicators of health and longevity
are diet, exercise, sleep, and stress release. The original Floating Bed will improve your life by providing
better sleep and relaxation / stress release – two of those four factors. So how does it work?
The Floating Bed gently rocks you via your own body’s movements, thanks to its unique motion. The single
pendulum suspension uses the same safe motion that people feel in mothers’ arms, and it produces the same
blissful feeling. In fact, this motion was already proven to work on you personally (just ask your mother).
No other Bed has ever used this motion, which is why this Bed was awarded a patent. Independent studies (on
sleep onset, quality, depth, lymphatic circulation, and more) have found that this motion is just as effective for
adults as it is for infants. Users have better EEG readings, another benefit. (Another word for this motion is
“Vestibular Therapy,” which is great for everyone, and also for ADHD, autism, aspergers, and other special
people.)
It is completely different from the motion of waterbeds, hammocks and all other swinging devices.
You will instantly feel the difference – every body does. Just 4-5 minutes sitting awake or relaxing in one feels

like a 20 minute refreshing nap. So it replaces your bed, and sofa, but it does much more than that; it’s a multi-
purpose health and wellness solution.

They can be indoors in the bedroom, living room, guest room. or porch. With the stand, they can be outdoors,
on grass areas, decks, etc. People use them for a quick break/recharge, or as self-contained indoor or outdoor

sleeping quarters. They are so cool they never look “out of place.” With the privacy tent, it’s a rainproof all-
weather bedroom, guest room, or for glamping. There are many accessories, based on usage and décor.

They are named one of the “10 Most Romantic Hotel Beds on Earth” by Condé Nast Traveler, & praised
by Disney World® Resort as “The Bed of the Future.” They grace top-tier hotels, boutique inns, spas, retreat
centers, and discerning homes, indoors and out. Celebrities like Steven Tyler, Uma Thurman, Jason Momoa,
James Cameron and many others are enjoying their own Floating Beds at their homes every day.
TripAdvisor guest reviews are all 5 Stars at hotels now featuring them.
The photos and the science are intriguing, but they cannot fully convey the actual experience. Fortunately, we
can prove just how peaceful it is to relax (or even better, to sleep) on one. Two minutes in a Floating Bed will
tell you more than anything we say. After demoing it to over 40,000 people we can guarantee that you will

prefer this new “relaxation tech” to your old-fashioned bed. Parents, kids, guests – every body loves gentle rock-
ing with this ideal motion.

To learn more, call Alo Brewer in Austin to set up an appointment to try one.

Thanks Jason Senders, Good News Sports Producer for suggesting this important and “life affirming”  Good News Story.

Thanks to ESPN for broadcasting the draft and the NBA for doing such a honorable gesture.

Special thanks to Isaiah for inspiring so many with your positive conviction for making the most out of  our lives.

Early years

Austin was born October 25, 1993 in Fresno, California to Ben and Lisa Green. His family later moved to Arlington, Texas where he grew up and attended Grace Preparatory Academy.

High school career

Austin attended Grace Preparatory Academy. As a senior, he averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks a game. This lead him to his second straight Fort Worth Star-Telegram Super Team Player of the Year. Austin participated in the 2012 McDonald’s All-American Game, 2012 Adidas Nations and the 2012 Jordan Brand Classic. In the McDonalds All-American Game, he recorded 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists to lead the West to victory. In the Jordan Brand Classic, he recorded 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks to again lead the West to victory. He was named to the ESPNHS All-American Elite second team and was the nations no. 3 recruit according to ESPN.

College career

In his freshman season at Baylor, Austin was named to the 2013 All-Big 12 third team and the Big 12 All-Rookie team. On April 4, 2013, he recorded 15 points, nine rebounds, five blocks, four assists and two steals in the NIT championship game in which Baylor defeated Iowa 74–54. In 35 games (all starts), he averaged 13.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.7 blocks in 29.9 minutes per game.

In April 2013, he declared for the 2013 NBA draft, but later returned to Baylor due to a shoulder injury.

In his sophomore season, he was named to the 2014 Big 12 All-Defensive team. In 38 games, he averaged 11.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 3.1 blocks in 28.0 minutes per game.

On April 22, 2014, he declared for the 2014 NBA draft, forgoing his final two years of college eligibility.

On June 21, 2014, Austin learned that he had been diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue. In an emotional interview with ESPN‘s Holly Rowe, Austin said that he could no longer play basketball at a competitive level since there was too much risk of his heart rupturing. In response, NBA commissioner Adam Silver invited Austin to attend the draft as his guest. Shortly after Austin’s diagnosis was made public, his agent revealed that Austin had taken out an insurance policy against career-ending disability through a special NCAA program. The amount of the policy was not disclosed, but the agent stated that it was at least $1 million. The policy would not have paid out if his career had ended due to the aforementioned shoulder injury or his eyesight, but is expected to pay out due to his Marfan diagnosis.

Personal

Austin is blind in his right eye from an injury he sustained in middle school. He had kept the injury a secret, known only to his teammates and close friends until January 17, 2014.
