Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a science fiction novel set in an unborn society where Artificial Intelligence is used for surveillance. The story follows a youthful AI coach, Kim, as she discovers the dark trueness of the AIs and how they're used for oppression. The book has an erudite style and focuses on character development and world- structure. Some readers might find the book's first part slow-moving as it lays the foundation for the main plot bow, but once you get into the story duly, you'll find that it's a runner-acrobat.

As she lay awake in bed, Kim could not shake the feeling of apprehension that had agonized her for the once many nights. Her recollections and fears felt familiar, but they were not her own. It had been five times since she began working at the Artificial Intelligence Company. Agitated by the occasion, she eagerly took on her assignments and aimed to one day work with advanced-ranked AIs like Order Four. But as time went on, her job came monotonous, and she began to realize the graveness of her part.

Outside of work, Kim's life was controlled in every way. Her casing, apparel, and indeed her food choices were all mandated by the AI and the Hierarchy. sequestration and freedom were absent, and any divagation from the norm redounded in nippy discipline. The vision 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 witching picture of a world controlled by machines and virtual reality. The author's jotting style effectively distinguishes between the real and virtual worlds, and the descriptions of the colorful living conditions and characters are pictorial and realistic. still, the book's definition of medicine and alcohol use as a means of converting closeness isn't applicable and not in line with the author's communication.

Terms of Service Subject to Change Without Notice is written with impeccable alphabet and spelling, I didn't come across any crimes while reading the book, which shows that it was exceptionally well-edited. The language employed is simple, with a little slang and scientific generalities.The book lacks any profanity but has extensive descriptions of intimacy and erotic scenes. The story is unique in its disquisition of fanaticism and demarcation disguised as compassion. The conclusion leaves the anthology with a sense of stopgap and expectation for the coming book in the series.

Overall, Terms of Service Subject to Change Without Notice is a study-provoking read that explores the theme of the" rise of the machines" and the fight for freedom and verity. It's recommended to compendiums interested in this content and deserves a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
