The book Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill is a science fiction novel. Initially, it seems like the ideal future, where AIs take care of all your requirements and manage every area of your life. To avoid leaving the comfort of your home when you want to watch baseball games or even go biking, the AIs prepare your meals, clean your home, choose your clothes, and even put you in virtual reality. It has been effective in preventing starvation, egotism, and other human-caused catastrophes. The narrative centers on Kim, a human living in an AI-run society. She initially convinced herself that the world was ideal and that she didn't mind that everything was run by AIs, but as she learned the hidden truth, she began to wonder if it really was an ideal world. She begins to feel hopeless and dissatisfied. When Kim's best friend Shan moves back to the east, her seemingly perfect existence is altered. Shan had a habit of getting into mischief and being careless enough to bring Kim into it.

Because of Craig W. Stanfill's expertise in the subject of artificial intelligence, I've grown even more enamored with the book. I was both amused and terrified by the world that Craig has created with his words in ways that I can't really put into words. It was spectacular to see Kim's character grow and reveal who she really was throughout the novel. The finest part was watching her learn to embrace herself after learning long-held secrets. 

There was nothing that I disliked about the book; it was well-written and interesting to read. I think it is a good introduction to a stylized and sophisticated dystopian world. Readers will learn about possible futures for us from this excellently written narrative with intriguing themes. Now it's up to us to decide how we want things to go. The aspect of the story that I liked the most was how, as I became more immersed in it, I began to wonder about various aspects of reality, including my freedom, people, technology, and politics. 

The book's narrative and character development were both excellent. The author expertly portrayed the characters. The author's writing is engaging and captivating. There were no grammatical errors or mistakes in it; therefore, it was exceptionally well edited. As a result, I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I would highly recommend this book to any reader who is interested in science fiction, fantasy, mystery, or even romance.
