Kim, dissatisfied by the controlled environment of her job at an AI company and the lack of personal freedom in her life, finds her frustration growing as she faces the challenges of navigating a world dominated by powerful AIs and a rigid hierarchy. I would love to read more of this book.

This book seems to talk about a not too distant future where AI and humans will collaborate. I am not much of a sci-fi person, but I read some that have a good premise. I think this one does so I'll give it a trial.

The difference between taking and giving, and taking and not giving is the difference between life and death.

The capability of future AI terrifies me and many of those fears are brought to life on this novel. The author put an immense amount of time and deep thought into this novel to think of what could be. Fantastic job!

Kim may not be a robot. However, she seems to be living a robotic life. I'm wondering what her life will look like without her robot.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel following Kim who lives in a future society where Artificial Intelligence controls every aspect of human life. What will happen when Kim wishes to get out from under the grasp of the AIs controlling humanity. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Definitely go find the sequel too (I think it's called The Prophecy of the Heron, but I may be misremembering). It brings the story to a conclusion and wraps up the loose ends. Happy ending for the protagonists, even the AIs. It is for books like this that I joined OBC in the first place :-)

Sometimes, the thrill of getting a granted opportunity can cloud or blind the eyes of reason, making it difficult for one to see certain traps that may have been hidden in a contract/MOU. In "Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice " by Craig W. Stanfill, Kim may have faced the same dilemma. How did Kim resolve the precarious situation of being controlled by the very AIs she was required to work with? Let's find out in Craig's book, "Terms of Service."
