It is 2053 in New York, and the AI system that keeps Earth functioning has collapsed. Power is off and all communications are down. The global weather controls have failed, plunging major cities deep into climate catastrophe.
Kat Keeper, a startup founder, feels responsible for the chaos, because she financed the AI technology that has shattered the world. Wanting to set things right, she leads a band of female rebels who hope to bring Earth back online and keep an evil AI corporation from seizing total control of the planet.
Then, when Kat's close friend and fellow rebel Ravven Vaara has what appears to be a mental breakdown, Kat chooses to return to her roots in San Francisco to help Ravven, confront her own thorny past, and find new love.

—Reader's Favorite 5-Star review for Surrender, book one of the Utopia Engine Trilogy
Schneider shows us a world that many of us fear is just around the corner. When humanity gives up control to techno-capitalism as a saviour, especially in the face of climate change, dystopia isn't far away. Deft and alarmingly prescient.
—Matt Gemmell, author of the KESTREL action-thriller series
Lee Schneider's Resist is a clever novel that captures a world steeped in artificial intelligence and climate disruption that could soon be our own.
— J.V. Hilliard, author of the Amazon-bestselling Warminster Series
Resist is a fast-paced, mind-bending tale of a future controlled by technology and the steps we must take to regain and preserve what makes us truly human.
— Karen Kinney, author of Doorways to Transformation: Everyday Wisdom for the Creative Soul, and The Reluctant Artist: Navigating and Sustaining a Creative Path
