My wife thought Alter AI’s review was ‘too flowery’ — so I asked ChatGPT, “What would you say to prospective readers about Resilient.”

Less, apparently.

Resilient is a story about what survives when certainty fails.

Set in a richly imagined civilization shaped by genetic upheaval, spiritual inquiry, and hard-earned technology, Resilient follows ordinary people caught at the fault lines of history: a fishing family facing piracy and loss, scientists who have proven the existence of the soul but not its moral implications, a stolen child whose fate ripples across continents, and a society struggling to remain humane while under siege.

This is science fiction that treats culture, belief, and consequence as seriously as starships and advanced physics. You’ll find:

• A lived-in world with deep history and internal logic
• Moral dilemmas where there are no clean victories
• Characters who endure, adapt, and sometimes fail—but keep going
• A rare fusion of hard science fiction with spiritual and philosophical inquiry

If you’re drawn to stories where progress comes at a cost, where compassion is as hard-won as survival, and where resilience is not bravado but persistence, this book is for you.

You don’t have to believe in souls to be haunted by what happens when they become measurable.
