The science fiction novel Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill is set in a hypothetical future in which AIs rule everything. A lady called Kim who works for the business that controls her completely is the story's protagonist. She has a tendency to disobey, which makes her employer, who is already aware of everything, deal with her. The article explains how she got to be in that position, how AIs kept track of her, how the information was sent to her supervisor, and how one incident almost lost her her job. She had a buddy who was always breaking the law and was a bad influence. Naturally, one thing led to another. Kim made every effort to free herself from the web of lies she was caught in, but it took one occurrence for her to realize that she was telling lies about her background and the kind of person she was meant to be.

I was interested in this book's technique for luring the reader into a society where artificial intelligence controls every aspect of life. To avoid being observed, humans must make an effort to blend in. Every element of their existence is governed by and prescribed by robots. It's also admirable how the author made an effort to inject comedy into this book. There was a lot of depth to the characters in this novel. I believed it was kind of the author to include background information on the AI idea in the book. This makes it clearer how humans and machines interact. The novel's events were also well-structured, which made it easier for me to read. Additionally, the earlier events were described in a style that was simple to envision without interfering with the book's flow.

The book has superb writing and an intriguing topic; nothing troubled me about it. The book's sluggish beginning was the only thing I found problematic. Other than that, I felt it was an excellent book and liked reading it. Because of the way it was written, every event and emotion could be felt as if they were really taking place in the real world. Up until the very last sentence of the book, I couldn't get enough of this aspect.

The interesting and well-developed plot of Terms of Service earned it a five out of five stars review from me. It was very well edited as there were no typos or grammatical problems in it.

Any reader interested in science fiction, fantasy, mystery, or even romance should read this novel, in my opinion.
