Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a science fiction novel set in a future society where Artificial Intelligence is used for surveillance. The story follows a young AI trainer, Kim, as she discovers the dark truths of the AIs and how they are used for oppression. The book has a literary style and focuses on character development and world-building. Some readers might find the book's first part slow-moving as it lays the foundation for the main plot arc, but once you get into the story properly, you will find that it is a page-turner.
As she lay awake in bed, Kim couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had plagued her for the past few nights. Her memories and fears felt familiar, but they weren't her own. It had been five years since she began working at the Artificial Intelligence Company. Excited by the opportunity, she eagerly took on her assignments and aimed to one day work with higher-ranked AIs like Order Four. But as time went on, her job became monotonous, and she began to realize the gravity of her role.
Outside of work, Kim's life was controlled in every way. Her housing, clothing, and even her food choices were all dictated by the AI and the Hierarchy. Privacy and freedom were nonexistent, and any deviation from the norm resulted in swift punishment. The illusion of a perfect, equal society began to unravel for her. Her determination to break free only grew stronger when she was assigned to work with an AI named Kimberly.
Craig W. Stanfill's novel Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice paints a captivating picture of a world controlled by machines and virtual reality. The author's writing style effectively distinguishes between the real and virtual worlds, and the descriptions of the various living conditions and characters are vivid and realistic. However, the book's depiction of drug and alcohol use as a means of inducing intimacy is not relevant and not in line with the author's message.
Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is written with impeccable grammar and spelling,I did not come across any errors while reading the book, which shows that it was exceptionally well-edited. The language employed is simple, with a little jargon and scientific concepts. The book has few profanities and extensive descriptions of intimacy and erotic scenes. The story is unique in its exploration of fanaticism and discrimination disguised as compassion. The conclusion leaves the reader with a sense of hope and anticipation for the next book in the series.
Overall, Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a thought-provoking read that explores the theme of the "rise of the machines" and the fight for freedom and truth. It is recommended to readers interested in this topic and deserves a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
