Kim works for the Artificial Intelligence Company, teaching the automatons that can't think for themselves. She is a devoted worker who always follows the laws of the company. In Craig W. Stanfill's novel Terms of Service, we are transported to a neutral world where the AIs (artificial intelligence) have mostly replaced humans, who are no longer the main force in society. Shan, Kim's best friend from high school, returned to her life, and everything Kim has known since childhood tumbled.

A moment that was intended to be a bicycle adventure turns out to be a revelation of the truth about the world they have been living in. Secrets that have been hidden are revealed, and Kim realizes all the things she knew and had been living by are lies. Will Kim choose her freedom to think for herself over a life filled with peace, which is a lie created by powerful authorities? If yes, will she be able to survive in the outer district? Learn more by reading Craig's book, Terms of Service.

This science fiction is an intriguing narrative that kept me reading yet showed me the possibility that, given how quickly technology is developing, we may fall into the same neutral world that the author Craig created in this book. The book also portrays various aspects that we experience in our daily lives, such as the love that is shown between Kim and Kimberly, as they shared a unique bond themselves, which I adored most about the novel. I was moved by Kimberly's efforts to protect Kim from the atrocities in her life and her horrible past.

What I liked most was how the author sedan easy and simple language, which made the narration easy to understand. The story also has a great plot, which moves in unexpected ways with twists and turns that keep the reader in enough suspense for what's next in the book. The character development was outstanding. While Craig was ready to dig out for readers the impressive techniques of the characters, he wasn't willing to release everything at once. The effect was a perfect combination of revelations and anticipations. Even though I was able to see through most of the characters, I wasn't certain I knew everything about them or what they could do next.
 
There is nothing I disliked about the book. This fiction novel is exceptionally well edited, as I found no errors in it. Due to the above reasons, I rate this book five out of five stars. The book is written with compelling themes, which readers would gain insight into. I recommend this book to fans of sci-fi and fantasy novels, as they will enjoy reading it. Readers who love novels about technology and artificial intelligence will also love this book. This narrative is also an excellent choice for those who like reading novels filled with suspense, a strong protagonist, and well-developed characters.
