Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill is a sci-fi/dystopian adventure story. The book debuts a fantastic and perilous concept where we are thrust into a world where definitive artificial intelligence guides every action humanity takes to increase output and keep control.

The primary character, Kim, has a bright future and is a rising talent at The Artificial Intelligence Company. She has access to everything she could want, with the exception of a free lifestyle, and the entire world is at her fingertips. A strange and defiant voyage starts as Kim's desire for freedom threatens to bring about society's collapse. She's capable of creating a vital intelligence, A descendant of the realm of AI, in this case, Kim, is required to make such a rare commodity. Kim ultimately begins to question the world as seen by the AI and begins to stray from the AI-created route. As she continues to work behind the scenes and becomes more acquainted with how her world really functions, she loses track of her true self and what is purposeful.

The author's dedication to plot-building impressed and captivated me. He did an excellent job of creating a complicated and convincing universe, full of details that most authors neglect. Kim's captivating life story drew me in and fully engrossed me in the novel. Another element of this book that I enjoyed was how unpredictable the storyline was. It was impossible to predict the result or the path the narrative would take, so every twist and revelation surprised me. Craig infused his complex storyline with powerful personalities and witty dialogue.

This book was well written and precisely described, so there was nothing to dislike about it. I appreciated how the different features handled the sources of true happiness and fulfilment in life. The book digs deeper into the history of contracts, language, and the ways in which technology and the companies behind it frequently ignore the user's rights. I thought the book was an interesting read that brought attention to a crucial but frequently overlooked problem, despite the fact that some people might not find it particularly intriguing.

I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because I thought it was very interesting and had excellent information. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I would recommend this book to adventure enthusiasts, fans of science fiction, and readers interested in artificial intelligence.
