In his fictional book, Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice, Craig W. Stanfill exposed how we could survive in an AI-run society. It is a dystopian book that portrays a world where technology rules. AIs have the power to direct how people in that society should act, including how they ought to dress, act, and go about their daily lives.

Kim lives in a world ruled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Modern technology and AIs were managing every aspect of her daily work. Kim had to accept this, whether she agreed with it or not. She was used to following the rules before an event occurred that changed everything for her. As a result, she obtained a new job and began leading a life she had never imagined. However, what will happen if everything she had thought to be real turns out to be false? Find out more about this fascinating book.

The story slowly comes together as it follows Kim, a young woman who trains AIs, through a typical day at work. We witness her argument with her refrigerator over food as a minor inconvenience, but it helps readers understand the kind of world she lives in, in which the terms of service of the Artificial Intelligence Company must always be followed. After the novel's opening section, we begin to see the risks that members of that society run when they disobey any terms of service. People's lives are controlled by artificial intelligence through monitoring equipment and household gadgets, and any infractions result in arrests.

Kim is on a self-discovery journey that makes it possible for her to realize that this control is what has led to her depressing lifestyle. This is the section I enjoyed the most since it demonstrates how someone may be used without recognizing it, which still occurs occasionally today. The dialogue between the characters is sincere, and the writing is fluid. I didn't find any errors in this book, which shows that it was exceptionally well-edited. I had a great time reading this book and drawing conclusions about how our world will develop in the future.

Some things bothered me in this book, which made me rate it 4 out of 5 stars. First, the book could use a few more scenes that show how the characters react to normal, everyday things. It seemed as if the plot was advancing as swiftly as it could in order to reach its conclusion. Second, even though the characters live in a civilization that is distinct from our own, some of the speech comes across as awkward and unconvincing. As a result, I kept being pulled away from the plot and could not fully immerse myself.

This book is great for anyone who likes to read about different worlds, especially ones with a dystopian feel. If you appreciate reading science fiction, this book is for you. Because of the sexually explicit content, I wouldn't recommend it to younger readers.

I completely agree with your review! I'm so intrigued by the world and characters that Craig W. Stanfill has created. It's fascinating to think about the implications of artificial intelligence and the power it could have over our lives. I also agree that there could have been more description of the characters' physical attributes and emotions, as that could have added to the immersive experience. I'm definitely interested in reading this book in the future to explore this world and the characters further."

Your review is carefully written and organized. I wonder what the world system would be if the Al system were to be our reality. I find Kim's character interesting.

[Hazel Mae Bagarinao]

It is nice that in some simple things, you are being served like a housebot serving you, but when everything seems mandatory that you can't do what you want to do; can't eat what you want to eat, that is frustrating and complicated. Kim's world is undesirable. Thanks for your great review!
