[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
Terms of Service, by Craig W. Stanfill. This is a science fiction romance book. The story takes place in a society totally governed by terms of service that can be modified without prior notice; everything is fully automated and controlled by artificial intelligence. Kim, the protagonist, is a young trainee who sticks to terms; even if she doesn't agree. She does her best to stick to the rules and try to excel at her job. But one day everything changed and step by step a frivolous truth about the society to which she belongs was revealed.
This story presents a very well achieved dystopia. At first, I thought it would be a futuristic story of all time, however, it managed to capture my attention because its plot consists of making the characters evolve with wide nuances of perspectives. I was very impressed by the sanctions they implement for the smallest detail, even if it is not an act that implies doing something wrong. It shows that many of the corrections and sanctions applied, by the terms of services, are unfair. It also draws a lot of attention that AIs are commonly the ones that turn against their creators; instead, in this story, the creators force them to act incorrectly against the values of society.
I loved the fluidity of the plot, the development of the story, the growth of the characters and the depth of the message, it is a great work that the author has written. It is also interesting that it can be understood that there are definitive rulers, whose identity is not known, but they are severe and are there somewhere developing new ways to subdue the population. In addition, the book is very well edited, I did not get any errors.
I don't have any negative aspects to refer to in terms of the book as such, I only congratulate the author who manages to convey the feeling of injustice, sadness, and despair in the face of some acts carried out during the development of the story. Managing to convey those emotions is a great achievement.
I recommend this book for adults, the book contains some explicit erotic scenes and a bit of violence. I recommend refrain for readers who find it unpleasant to read this type of content. In any case, for all those enthusiasts for new technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence who are passionate reading about this topic. I can tell you that this book is a great choice.
Science fiction, action, and adventure are very well implemented. This book pleasantly surprised me, it exceeded my expectations and I really liked it. Therefore, I give it a rating of: 4 out of 4 stars, and 5 out of 5 stars . He managed to transport me inside the story and capture all the right emotions.
