[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
The thought of a future where artificial intelligence controls everything is downright chilling. That's the premise of Craig W. Stanfill's book, Terms of Service. Imagine living in a world where AI dictates every aspect of your life—what you eat, wear, and even who you sleep with. There's no freedom, only constant surveillance. The AI system rewards those who conform and punishes those who rebel, using a points system to determine your social status and access to luxuries. It's a stark divide between the haves and have-nots, all controlled by the all-powerful AI.
Kim is a model citizen, always following the rules and regulations set by the AI. She's convinced that if she just keeps her head down and does what she's told, she'll eventually be rewarded. But when she accidentally stumbles into a forbidden area, she's shocked to find that nothing happens—no alarms, no warnings, no punishments. This sparks her curiosity, and she begins to venture into the unknown, uncovering secrets that threaten to upend everything she thought she knew.
What really drew me in was the book's enchanting world, where everything is controlled with just a voice command and appliances have a mind of their own. It's like stepping into a futuristic fairy tale! I also loved the author's witty humor and sarcasm, which added a layer of depth to the story. The way Kim interacts with the AI and her smart home devices is both humorous and heart-warming, and it's amazing to see her grow and change throughout the book.
I was thoroughly impressed with Terms of Service! The writing was flawless, with no mistakes to distract me from the story. Craig W. Stanfill also handled sensitive content with care, keeping the focus on the plot. And what a plot it was—I was completely absorbed in the twists and turns. Overall, I'm giving it a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars rating. I also have no dislike for the book.
If you're a fan of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, or romance, you'll love this book. It masterfully weaves together elements of each genre to create a unique and captivating read.
