Lee Schneider is a novelist, futurist, producer, and veteran storyteller whose career spans television, film, podcasting, and books. He is the author of the Utopia Engine Trilogy—SURRENDER, RESIST, and LIBERATION — a sweeping speculative saga about artificial intelligence, climate manipulation, and human resilience. Schneider’s inspiration for the Trilogy grew out of real-world crises. During California’s devastating wildfire seasons, unable to go for his regular runs, he filled notebooks with story ideas about climate change, AI, and the collision of technology and humanity. Many of the “futuristic” concepts in the series — corporate control of data, memory manipulation, and weather engineering — are already being tested today. Before turning to fiction, Schneider built a distinguished career in media. He has written for Good Morning America and the classic cartoon ThunderCats, produced and directed documentaries for the History Channel, The Learning Channel, CourtTV, Discovery Health, the Food Network, and ReelzTV, and created a ReelzTV series exploring the science behind science fiction. His work in theater includes writing and producing Off-Broadway plays in New York, while in Los Angeles he served as a producer for Dateline NBC. An entrepreneurial creative, Schneider founded Red Cup Agency, an award-winning podcast production company. He also serves as Artistic Director of FutureX, a platform for futurist projects, and the host and producer of The Future Lab with Lee Schneider, a podcast featuring leading authors, publishers, and cultural thinkers in science fiction and fantasy. A teacher as well as a creator, Schneider leads storytelling masterclasses (called the Storyline Sessions) and is an adjunct assistant professor at the USC School of Architecture. He lives in Santa Monica, California, with his family.
