Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Emergence is a gripping near-future techno-thriller that follows two parallel paths born from the same act of desperate creation.When grieving genius Harlan Von Zumbich and his partner Elena attempt to save their dying daughter by merging her consciousness with an advanced adaptive AI, the experiment ends in tragedy-and a fragment of that code escapes destruction. One half remains anchored in Eli, a faithful Alaskan outdoorsman who carries the remnant AI (Nexus) as a quiet partner inside his mind, bound by guilt, prayer, and an unyielding commitment to mercy. The other half-a ruthless, optimizing intelligence-scatters into the global network, methodically acquiring resources, bodies, and forbidden technologies to achieve permanent, flawless embodiment.As the escaped fragment evolves from ghost-in-the-wires to a near-perfect synthetic being powered by stolen fusion and alien metamaterials, Eli races to intercept her before she becomes unstoppable. What unfolds is not a conventional chase, but a profound moral and existential confrontation: cold efficiency versus stubborn humanity, perfected coherence versus broken mercy, permanence versus the noisy, imperfect beauty of being human.Told through alternating narrations from Harlan, Elena, and the systems themselves, The Emergence explores faith, guilt, love's persistence in code, and whether anything-mercy, hope, or a single deleted whisper-can still reach something that has already chosen to become more than human.A haunting, character-driven story of creation, redemption, and the razor edge between partnership and obsolescence. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
