Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
In this literary sci-fi novel, the author takes the reader on a time traveling journey, 250 years into the future, of what he thinks and feels, the northeast province of the United States in 1984 would be if there were any AI advancements and developments. He shares his AI PhD knowledge and thoughts through Kim's life which is entirely controlled by artificial intelligences, from what she eats to who she gets intimate with and the kind of activities she gets up to.
If you were to turn the hands of time and fast forward to the future, what kind of civilization would you have, compared to the current one? What would you change? Would you get rid of a few things or rather add a few things? Have you ever wondered or thought about what the future would look like, based on the current global developments? We have really come a long way over the years and a lot of things have caused a whole lot of transitioning, from the time of no technology to a time where technology is everything. Well, if you haven't already done so, I recommend you either start now or rather like me, read about what Dr. Craig W Stanfill has to say.
Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice talks about Kim who is a very prosperous young woman that seems to be comfortable but not as happy with her life and one harmless mistake sends it spinning out of control as she embarks on a journey of self and system discovery which reveals some secrets that threaten to destroy the entire society and its civilization, while at the same time, she finds herself falling in love where love is not allowed and dubbed to be non-existent which leads her to questioning a lot things.
I enjoyed reading this book. It's a real page turner as I read it with an interest for artificial intelligence and my curiosity on what Dr. Stanfill's idea of a future civilization would be, I found myself not being able to put the book down where every page I turned drew me deeper and deeper into the world of AIs. What I liked the most about the book was that as much as it was based on Artificial Intelligences, it resembles real life features that have me feeling like, globally, our behaviors and actions are leading and ushering us into a future civilization much like the one found in the book without realizing it.
The book was not obvious informative with remarkable views and points put across using the storyline, from how one may often see things happening but not mind it even though they may be questioning it for what and how it is. The beautifully written book is exceptionally edited with no errors, I give it a well-deserved 4 out of 4 stars rating for the intriguing storyline and storytelling technique that goes hand in hand with a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars for the strategic manner of the information provided by the author and outstanding editorial skills. I would recommend this book to anyone who finds artificial intelligence interesting or intriguing with a rather open mind for the few remarks and views on individuality and humanity.

This was a book I enjoyed so much. And you were right this book was hard to put down for me too. I think we are already headed somewhat towards the future the author has built with how much technology we use. Good job on your review.
