Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill is a science fiction novel that imagines a dystopian society in which technology and artificial intelligence have taken over the basis of human existence. The book serves as an example of the complete control artificial intelligence companies would have over individuals. The book also demonstrates the loss of human autonomy and self-interest. It also offers a thorough description of what an AI-run society will look like. It also shows both the good and bad sides of a human civilization governed by artificial intelligence.
Kim lives in a society where artificial intelligence (AI) is dominant. The AI controls every aspect of her life. Training automatons, or non-thinking machines, is part of Kim's duties as an AI trainer at the transit support branch of her organization.
Things immediately changed when she and her companion Shawn went on a scheduled ride, which exposed the darker aspects of society and the invisible forces that were in charge of the entire human species. This puts her in the middle of the very forces that control society and catapults her into a new role. She has lost both her right to privacy and her ability to maintain her identity.
A world governed by technology and virtual reality simulations is depicted in superb writing by the author. It is easy to tell the difference between the physical and digital worlds, as well as between robots and people. The diverse living situations, from slums to affluent neighbourhoods, are discernible. Visualization and a realistic reading experience are made possible by the detailed descriptions of the characteristics of each individual and the working robots. I especially liked the author's use of wit and sarcasm, as seen in Kim's amusing remarks on the new clothes' vivid pale beige hues. The terms of service were given at the beginning of the book, which I think was a good idea. The use of "Oneday" and "Twoday" in place of what we know as our weekdays is only one of many smart sci-fi details that set this universe apart from others.
I disliked the author's choice of words in certain areas; it made the book difficult to read. The book itself was fascinating to read, despite these problems.
I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The plot was amazing, and I related to the story's characters. The book was professionally edited and error-free. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy science fiction and artificial intelligence.
