Terms of Service: Subject to Change without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill is a fictitious book that takes place in an advanced, AI-driven society and spans across 19 chapters. Artificial intelligence has complete control over every element of human life, and freedom is almost non-existent. All humans are forced to agree with and adhere to certain terms of service. The AI has been able to access private information and prevent man-made problems from occurring. 

Kim works for the Artificial Intelligence Company by helping to train the operational automata, and she believes that she has more to achieve in life. She believes some of the rules are ridiculous like forcing people to wear clothes that are gender neutral. Kim tries to rebel against the system that controls people's lives. She believes that she is powerless against the hierarchy, which would punish anyone guilty of defiance. After an unexpected promotion at work, Kim learns about the true origin of their civilization. But recent circumstances and the sudden return of an old friend might just be enough to make her reconsider her stance. What will be the result of Kim's crucial decision? Will she succeed in her mission? Find out more in this futuristic piece.

The book had several positive aspects. To be honest, I did not really know what to expect in this book, but I believe the author ensured that everything was explained thoroughly. The book is written with straightforward grammar that is easy to follow and understand. It also helped me understand the true potential of AI and how it will soon be considered superior to human intellect in the future. Recent events show proof that the change is already manifesting in the form of some amazing technological advancements. The author presented the storyline in such an enticing way that one could not help but wonder how it would feel to experience the storyline in reality. 

Another aspect I enjoyed was the character development. Shan is my favorite character, and I found myself impatiently searching for his witty and charming humor while reading. Kim's passion is a character that I believe everyone should emulate. It is her defining quality, and I admire her for standing firm in her beliefs. 

I only discovered a minor negative aspect while reading. The length of the book was a little excessive, and I believe the author could reduce it without ruining the book. It made my reading experience a bit tedious.

I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It helped me visualize the future of humanity and explore my imagination. I will definitely be picking this book up for another read very soon. I recommend this book to lovers of science fiction and fantasy. The book addresses some issues in mental health, so young adults will find it useful.

It is scary to imagine where artificial intelligence will be in the nearest future. I guess wanted to break down his opinion in his own way, hence this book. This is a very good science fiction book and I hope to pick up your copy very soon. Thanks for your honest opinion.

In a dystopian world where AIs rule people I think it will be a dangerous environment to live in. Kim, our protagonist is a strong and resilient young girl, trying to break the rules. Amazing review!

[Hazel Mae Bagarinao]

The world Kim lived in is a world that we do not want to live in reality. It is extremely advance, yet barren and joyless. AI is great but it will not be the one who ruled us. Your review is great!

Just like most sci-fi, Terma of Service is set in a future time. It shows the co-existence of humans and AI. What happens when one is subject to the other?

[Active Chris]

This book talks about a period when AI is dominant. Hence, it features science fiction. Kim was the character that interested me in this book. Thanks for your well written review. Congrats on publication.

[Charles Babbage]

I really enjoyed reading this book. Kim was quite the character as she was very diligent at her job and was going higher the ranks.

Terms of Service opened my eyes to the negative impact of relying on technology. We could wake up to a world taken over by technology. I hope this remains fiction.

From the title, I didn’t expect this book to be fiction. This book talks about exciting topics like AI. And the characters are very unique, especially Kim. She seems like a daring and intelligent woman. I would love to read this book.

I'm always on the lookout for new sci-fi novels to read, and this one sounds like it would be right up my alley. I'm intrigued by the themes of economic equality and the impact of AI on society. I'll definitely be adding this book to my reading list.
