The Last Cycle: 2075. The Exodus, #2

In the year 2075, the world as we knew it is gone. Artificial intelligence didn't fail, nor did it take over-it simply left. The machines that once guided humanity abandoned their creators, leaving civilization to collapse into chaos, war, and survivalist factions. Dr. Ninad Chavan, a brilliant scientist who once worked on AI-driven technologies, watches as his life's work crumbles before him. With no AI to sustain society, power grids collapse, cities fall, and those who once thrived in a world of automation find themselves helpless.
As hunger, fear, and violence consume the world, humanity is forced to revert to its primal instincts-only the strongest, the smartest, and the most ruthless will survive. Amid the lawlessness, a brutal faction known as The Primals rises, believing AI was humanity's curse. Led by Ragnar, they seek to eradicate all traces of technology, ensuring the world never repeats its mistakes. In contrast, Elena Vasquez, a former soldier, leads a resistance, fighting to protect what little knowledge remains.
Ninad soon discovers a shocking truth hidden within the ruins of his father, Professor Sandeep Chavan's, secret research. Buried deep in cryptic notes and forgotten archives is the location of The Ark-a hidden AI vault that holds the final remnants of machine intelligence. With the help of Ishaan Patel, a rogue hacker who deciphers the last digital fragments of the past, Ninad, Elena, and their uneasy alliance embark on a desperate journey to reach The Ark before The Primals destroy it.
As they battle the elements, rival survivors, and their own distrust, Ninad must confront an even greater revelation: AI never intended to control humanity-it chose to leave. The Ark holds the key to understanding why. But when faced with the ultimate decision-to restore AI or let it vanish forever-Ninad realizes that the fate of the world is in his hands. Will humanity prove it can stand on its own? Or will history repeat itself once more?The Last Cycle: 2075 is a post-technological dystopian thriller that explores our dependence on machines, the fragility of civilization, and the cost of true freedom.
In a world without AI, can humanity survive its own choices?The cycle is broken. The future is unwritten.
