I had so much fun reading this book I didn't want it to end. So, what are Craig W Stanfill's Terms Of Service? Imagine an episode of the Netflix hit series Black Mirror. Craig's book is precisely that. Kim's world is run by artificial intelligence. The Als control everything from the temperature of her bathwater, the food she can eat, the music she listens to, and even the people she can date and sleep with. Kim is a law-abiding citizen of this world and follows the company's rules on people to the T. Kim has everything she wants, a good job, a great apartment, and even some success in the intimacy booths. Everything is as the Als designed it to be, yet every night drinks herself silly on vodka crying herself to sleep. The book takes a turn. Kim's perfect, artificial life starts to change when an old friend of hers who got suspended just before they were to graduate is allowed back into the inner district of the city.

One of the things I love about this book is how Craig can show us how the people in top decision-making positions influence how and what people think. We see this with the staged protests against the anti-mentalist groups that the media is portraying as holding and kidnapping children. We see how controlled everything is. The protestors that are allowed to protest seem to push an agenda that the authorities want to push. This book was perfectly edited and found no grammatical errors. It is also worth adding that the writing style is clear for all readers to follow and enjoy without feeling overwhelmed with words and terminologies like most science fiction novels and books.

On the negative part, I have nothing negative to say about Terms Of Service. The editing was great and the book delivered a great plot with intriguing characters.

I recommend this book to people that love sci-fi novels. This book also has themes of sexual orientation and a path of self-discovery. So if any of the above pick your interest consider this book as your next read or add it to your wish list. Virtual reality is another topic the book explores.

I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4. The reason for this rating is because of how brilliantly the book is written and how much I enjoyed reading it.
