Terms of Service is a fictional book written by Craig W. Stanfill. A young and vibrant Kim lands a good job after graduation. She had always desired to work in a place relevant to what she studied in school. As fate would have it, she got employed by an artificial intelligence company. An excited Kim resumed and got familiarized with her job duties. She then exchanged pleasantries with her fellow Al trainers named Shan, Quinn, Keli, and others whose names were mentioned in the story at their induction ceremony, which was handled by Jan, their supervisor. She executed her duties excellently. However, along the way, she found out that there was more to the job than what she had in mind. The job that she thought would bring her happiness ended up making her feel shattered. Do you think she finally figured everything out? Discover the answer from this book.

I'll say that this book's plot was an emotional one because I felt for Kim considering how she struggled to find herself and regain her sanity. She must have regretted accepting the job with the organization. But how would she have known that there were hidden truths and mysteries inherent in the job if she hadn't gone for it? It wouldn't have been easy to know. Furthermore, as an ardent fan of technology, this book increased my love for it. The description of the technological systems used in Kim's workplace was fascinating. It made me more knowledgeable. The well-equipped systems and tools also made the undertaking of their job duties a less stressful one. In addition, the character development in this story was delightful.

Kim and Shan's friendship was a delightful one. It made the story more intriguing. I love how they cooperated in the workplace and also in the outside world. They usually made time to have fun whenever they got tired from work. On one of their usual hangouts, they went bike racing and visited several pleasing sites that exhilarated them. They both experienced the highs and lows of life. Their friendship did indeed appeal to me.

I rate this book five out of five stars because I didn't dislike any part of it. The good line spacing used and the exceptional editing done made it easier for me to read the words. The writing style of the writer was fantastic. I loved how he incorporated storytelling into it. In addition, I've learned not to joke with my mental health because it's paramount to my well-being. Kim's mental health was affected because of the work environment she found herself in.

I, therefore, recommend it to fictional novel readers and avid lovers of technology and artificial intelligence jobs because what this book contains will make them more enlightened. Mental health advocates will also benefit from this book.

I read this book recently too and also enjoyed it. I just found it a little confusing for the first few chapters. Nice review.

I enjoyed this book and I agree that Kim and Shan's relationship is an adorable aspect of the book. I found them enjoying life when they got together, it feels like they don't care about the world. At least Kim experiences life when she was with Shan. Your review is fantastic!

It really is a heart wrenching thing for something you’ve been looking forward to for so long turns into one that shatters you after getting it like in the case of Kim. I’ve read the book myself and your review did it justice. A job well done.
