What if you woke up tomorrow to discover that artificial intelligence (AI) had taken over the world and was helping you with all of your household chores, meal preparation, finding the ideal clothing for you, providing virtual simulations, and much more exciting things in exchange for perfect freedom from needless labour? It sounds ideal, doesn't it? That is exactly what Kim, the main character in this book, also believed. Kim worked for artificial intelligence companies to assist them in producing more technologically superior humanoid robots, but the reality was otherwise.

Things worsened when Kim realised that the AI around them was a threat and had robbed them of their very basic freedom. The AI monitored their every move daily and issued strict protocol on the dos and don'ts, and those who didn't abide by the terms were subject to severe punishment. Kim's friends were a bad influence on her because they frequently didn't behave according to the terms of the corporate companies that provide AI. When Kim and her friends learned of this reality, they were incensed. They decided to take on the huge corporations that were now ruling them and defeat them to regain their freedom. You can only find out if Kim prevails in this bloody battle by reading Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill.

This novel was spooky, thrilling, entertaining, adventurous, and a lot of fun to read, and I thoroughly loved it. I appreciated the author's writing abilities for her immaculate description throughout the book, especially concerning the humanoid robots and AI, which helped to clarify the idea and gave the impression that they were fairly genuine. It also gives us a glimpse of the world's potential future, and the author skillfully conveys the message about how humanity could ultimately experience problems in light of the state of technology now.

Additionally, the author's sharing of some profound facts on AI allowed me to learn a lot about the subject. I loved Kim throughout the book, and I liked how the protagonist was a strong, independent woman. There were many other amazing characters throughout the book that were quite interesting.

Nothing about this book is objectionable. Everything was meticulously planned out by the author, who never allowed a chapter to drag on.

The plot of this novel is quite distinctive. The chapters reflected the humour and sarcasm of the author, and I thought the title of the book was extremely creative. I didn't locate a single grammatical mistake in this book, which makes it exceptionally edited. Given everything mentioned above, I'd be happy to give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Anyone interested in robots, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, or a gripping plot should read this book, in my opinion. In addition, readers should be advised that the novel contains strong sexual themes and is only appropriate for readers 18 years of age and older.
