Review of Terms of Service
Posted: 20 Apr 2022, 10:14
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
The story is set in a world governed by self-serving companies, which control every aspect of human existence by taking advantage of AI, a world in which individual voice, freedom of thinking and decision amount to nothing. The lavishly layered narrative offers a sharp looked at representation of life in the chilling tragic world, its citizens living under a system so malicious that guardians attempting to keep their children with them are censured as perilous hoodlums and exposed to severe punishment.
Stanfill's narrating is clear, portraying how Kim views her AI-controlled life only as monotonous first and foremost, however starts to see everything in new light after Shan returned her life, acknowledging what it means to have her own voice. The novel investigates how falling in love changes an individual's viewpoint about themselves as well as about the world around them.
A disrupting expectation penetrates the plot while simple,straightforward exposition and estimated pacing draw perusers along smoothly. Stanfill's translation of the abuse of man-made consciousness at the hands of state run administrations and organizations is awkwardly genuine. Through Kim's story, Stanfill inconspicuously gets some information about opportunity of thought and action as cutting edge innovation takes increasingly more control of our regular life. I give this book a 4 out of 4 stars rating.
