Craig W. Stanfill's novel Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is set in a science fiction universe with cutting-edge technology and a desire to regulate everyone's behavior. Through Kim's daily routines and the way she navigates them, we get to experience their world. We get to see how she balances her work, love life, and friendships.

Kim is a young woman who has wondered about her background, her development, and her existence as a newborn. She had many unanswered questions about that topic, but nothing seemed to lead in the right direction for an answer, so she focuses on her professional life and tries to maintain a low profile at both her workplace and home. Kim never truly considered the possibility of being watched over by AIs, but she was prepared to work hard and abide by the regulations. She could never have anticipated how these events would dramatically transform her life. Discover what transpired in her life by reading this book.

Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill imagines a society in which technology governs everything. The fact that the author was able to focus on the main character and illuminate her being is one thing I genuinely enjoyed about this novel. I like that the author concentrated on Kim and her development, even though readers got to meet new characters. I admire Kim a lot because she changed from someone who avoided problems to someone willing to fight for the people she cared about. Furthermore, I love how the author was able to distinguish between reality and technology in the book. One thing I appreciated was the opportunity to witness real friendship outside of their technologically advanced society.

I loved this book so much that I reread every page numerous times and found nothing wrong with it. I adored every aspect of their world, which was unusual, bizarre, and eerily eerie owing to the inability to have complete seclusion. Not only that, but I also liked the detailed description of the AIs and how the author made sure to include how the AIs were created, as well as the behavioral patterns of these machines. The book was exceptionally well-edited. I found no errors while reading it, and I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars for the excellent writing.

I would suggest this book to anybody who enjoys technology and everything robotic. This is a book you would enjoy if you wanted to picture a world where AIs rule.
