Review of Terms of Service
Posted: 28 Jan 2023, 14:30
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
This dystopian sci-fi novel is set in a world where machines rule over humans, and strict rules and regulations are in place. Kim, the protagonist, was born into this system and has always followed the rules, but when her friend Shan reenters her life, she begins to question everything she's ever known. As she delves deeper into the secrets of the powerful company, she must decide whether to continue living a controlled life or to rebel and fight for freedom. The author's extensive research in AI adds depth and realism to the story, and the unique writing style keeps the reader engaged.
What an enthralling read! From beginning to end, I was wholly engrossed in the story. The cover and title piqued my interest. I liked how the author chose the title of the book. No other title could have fit better. The author's writing style is engaging and evocative of the settings and emotions. Another aspect I greatly appreciated was the thorough explanation of the AI's workings. The in-depth descriptions of the technology were well-timed and never felt forced or patronizing. There was plenty of suspense, and the plot didn't let me put the book down until the end. The author used chapter breaks so well that I was satisfied and eager for more at the end of each one. The same can be said for the book's ending. I also enjoyed the chapter titles; they added to the feeling of watching a TV show and left me curious about their meaning and what would happen next.
Even though I liked the story and the characters, I didn't like how the book ended. It left me on a cliffhanger, and while the author did hint at a second book to continue the story, it didn't leave me eagerly anticipating the next installment as much as I had hoped. Also, the author used many foreign words without including a glossary, making it hard to thoroughly understand some parts of the book.
With a perfect balance of drama, fantasy, mystery, and intriguing morality, this book is sure to keep readers engaged. In addition, the tragic theme of choices and wrong decisions adds depth to the story, making it a must-read for anyone interested in a well-written and thought-provoking book. And also, the book was exceptionally well-edited; I found no errors while reading it. For these reasons, I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It's a must-read for anyone who loves satire, humor, and a good piece of literature.
Terms of Service: Subject to change without notice is a funny and thought-provoking book that I recommend to anyone. The book masterfully explores the theme of Artificial Intelligence's dominance over humanity in a dystopian society through clever characters and a unique writing style.
