Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice science fiction written by Craig W. Stanfill romance. The setting for the narrative is an artificial intelligence-run civilization where everything is fully automated and governed by terms of service that can be changed at any time. The main character, Kim, is a young trainee who, even when she disagreed, kept her word. She tried her best to follow the regulations. Also, she tried to perform her job well. Nevertheless, things changed, and little by little the truth about the society she belonged to came to light.
Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice presented a dystopian society. The narrative demonstrated how persons in positions of authority have control over other characters' lives since they were very young. Every facet of their existence, including what they ate, who they dated, and whether their words and deeds adhered to the rules that controlled them, was monitored by AI. People were misled into thinking they have freedom when they don't by those in positions of power. These leaders were the ones who spread lies.
The author transported me to a society in which humans have mostly been replaced by AIs and are no longer a significant social force. The Food Company foresaw the contents of the smart refrigerator's breakfast. As the Clothes Company selected what to wear, the Matchmaking Company made them choose who to go on a date with. The AI must be obeyed by humans, or else a punishment will be administered.
I appreciate the book's concise length and straightforward plot. The writing in the book is excellent, and I like it. I applaud the author's skillful use of language describing how the AI interacted with the characters. The conversation in the book sounded natural. The summary of the plot was well captured in the book's title and cover. The characters and AI were superbly developed by the author. Kim's character growth leading up to the primary suspense of the story and the plot twists held my attention and piqued my curiosity about how things turned out for her following the catastrophe she experienced in her new employment. This book has an appealing layout and fascinating content. Also, it is simple to read. Every scene in the book was fully explained by the author.
Nothing about the book bothered me. The novel is provocative and expertly written. I did not encounter any errors while reading this book. It was exceptionally well-edited. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Readers will learn about possible futures for us from this excellently written narrative with intriguing themes. And now it's up to us to decide how we want things to go. I recommend this book to readers of science fiction with dystopian themes.
