Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a society where artificial intelligence takes care of every menial, repetitive, boring routine task and decision while you focus only on what really matters to you? In this universe, AIs are in charge of everything, from calculating your nutrient intake and preparing every meal for you to finding the best route for your commute, taking into consideration live data from everybody else. and every other human.

Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill is a captivating science fiction novel set in a dystopian future where artificial intelligence dominates every aspect of life. Kim, the protagonist, is a researcher who trains low-intelligence neural networks to function in the real world. Her life revolves around the control of AI, from her wardrobe choices to her potential dates. However, Kim's perspective on life changes when she and her friend Shan go beyond the legal boundaries and stumble upon a hidden settlement. This discovery leads to a series of events that reveal the true nature of the society she lives in.

What sets Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice apart from other science fiction novels is its ability to blend both the pros and cons of an AI-controlled economy. It presents a clear picture of what the future could look like, where technology may surpass human intelligence and a few people could control everything. The author's research into this subject matter is evident in the book, and world leaders should consider reading this book to gain insight into this topic.

The book's title accurately reflects its content, where everything is constantly changing and it is hard to predict what will happen next. The editors have done an excellent job, and the book is written in simple language, making it easy to understand. I could not find a single typo.

The author's excellent storytelling and world-building skills set the stage for a thought-provoking adventure. Stanfill has created a world that is both exciting and terrifying at the same time, where humans are controlled and manipulated by technology. One of my favorite aspects of the book is right there in the preface. But I am not going to tell you what it is! Just make sure you don’t skip it, as it can alter the whole experience.

I rate Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice 5 out of 5 stars. It is an outstanding book that combines suspense, science fiction, and a warning about the possible implications of an AI-controlled world. The book is well-crafted, and the plot unfolds smoothly, keeping the reader engaged from beginning to end. Therefore, I highly recommend this book to all science fiction enthusiasts who love thrilling and thought-provoking reads.
