Why the rewrite some might ask, I received feedback that the story was pretty good but it would be significantly better if it were multiple lead characters, enjoy.  As an addendum to the Warnings.  This book contains characters some with deep character flaws There is some profanity here and there, it is not an f-bomb festival.  While AI was used in the editing and analysis of the prose in this book however this is not an AI written book about the fall of the earth written by AI.  Though that might be a fun project to play with. In a world dominated by AI, retired Major Diego Martinez struggles with the cold efficiency of technology that controls every aspect of life. From the sweltering heat of Phoenix, Arizona, to the high-stakes environment of the American-Pacific Union Exodus Facility, Diego faces the harsh realities of AI's grip on humanity. Pay-to-play politics prevent ordinary people from securing spots on the exodus ships, leaving many desperate for a way out. Amidst this chaos, Dr. Olivia Smith's underfunded project discovers a groundbreaking quantum portal technology that offers a chance to escape to the pristine world of Haven. However, they must race against time to find the necessary resources and make the journey possible. As Earth teeters on the brink of collapse due to environmental disasters, resource wars, and societal breakdown, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of this quantum gateway. Haven offers the promise of a fresh start, free from the ravages of the dying planet. Diego and his team must rely on their wits, resilience, and community spirit to build a new society free from AI control. Will they overcome the odds and create a new beginning on Haven? "Fleeing Oblivion: A Journey to Haven" is a story of survival, community, and the enduring human spirit. It explores the challenges of starting anew in an alien world, the sacrifices made for the greater good, and the hope that drives humanity to persevere against all odds.
