Terms of Service: Subject to change without notice by Craig W. Stanfill is a fictional tale that will usher you into an intense virtual world full of shocking twists and escalating drama. The book explores the scary possibility that things could easily get out of hand if we continue to use technology to handle all aspects of our lives. The novel is based on the character of Kim, whose life is solely in the hands of technology. Artificial intelligence is used to dictate many aspects of her life, including what she can have for dinner and the people she can get intimate with. In the beginning, the futuristic technology seems to be making her life easier, but over time, it becomes apparent the technology is incredibly oppressive and overbearing. At some point, there is no doubt that technology is being used to achieve a rather sinister goal.

There is plenty to love about Terms of Service: Subject to change without notice by Craig W. Stanfill. First of all, Kim's character is so well developed by the author. I was always waiting to learn what was going to happen to her next. Furthermore, the story also flows smoothly and you will have no problem figuring out what's going on. All aspects of the novel are well thought out, and there are no dull moments in the story. All these factors come together to make this an incredibly great book. Finally, despite the gripping story, the author manages to give readers an amazing climax as the story comes to an end.

The book starts out slowly, but it quickly picks up the pace and keeps the reader hooked to the very end. Also, although it does a great job of developing Kim's character, the book does not do a very good job of making the reader understand how the country ended up being such a dystopia. Additionally, the fact that all characters in the book are female based on the author's exclusive use of the pronouns "she" and "her" might be problematic for some people. Otherwise, the book and the core idea it explores are quite eye-opening.

Terms of Service: Subject to change without notice by Craig W. Stanfill is professionally edited, and I give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars and 5 out of 5 stars

If you are a fan of science fiction, you should make sure you read this exciting book. It is intense, crisp, thought-provoking, and unbelievably educative. We might be basking in the comforts of modern technology today, but this book is a sobering reminder that technological advances can easily get out of hand and plunge us into a world filled with chaos.
