Artificial intelligence has always been an amazing concept for humans. The idea that we could create robots to perform certain functions that could ease our workload was just an idea at some point in time. Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill explores that idea and the effects that come with it. The setting of the book is way into the future, and the concept of artificial intelligence is now a reality. Human beings found a way to create a world where artificial intelligence exists. With this new development came a new order in the world. People now had to dress a certain way and listen to a certain type of music. People had to behave a certain way or there would be consequences. The organization that created Artificial Intelligence had a way of making sure people didn't break any rules. Privacy was no longer a thing in this timeline.

Kim always tried to follow the rules and tried to stay out of trouble. She always felt like she wanted to do more in life. Her life wasn't as exciting as she hoped it would be, but she preferred it that way because that meant she got to stay away from trouble. She needed to maintain a clean image, so she could afford the things she needed. Kim soon realizes that she can no longer avoid her inquisitive nature, and she later finds out that the company behind the development of the AIs has a lot to hide. Kim makes it her mission to find out what they are up to and expose them.

We were able to see the growth of the main character in this book. At first, she's a timid character who keeps her head down, so she could stay away from any trouble, but then she transforms into a fearless character who just wants to find out the truth. The author was able to explore the idea of the coexistence of Artificial Intelligence and human beings. The author's creative writing enabled us to envision a distant time in the future when humans were able to create AI and put it to use. In this timeline, everything is more uniform. People had to dress a certain way, listen to a particular type of music, and watch certain shows. Any slight deflection was punished. What I loved most about this book was the author's ability to bring the characters to life. The main character was written beautifully. I was able to feel the emotions of each character in this book. I was also able to connect with the main character. I loved that the main character wasn't perfect, and she was allowed to make mistakes.

I loved that we were able to follow the main character on her journey. She discovered new things about herself, and she was able to learn from her mistakes. I loved that the main character was inquisitive, and she always wanted to know more. The book had an eerie setting, which made me extremely curious. I also had questions that I wanted to be answered. I felt comforted by the fact that the main character also had those same questions. We were also able to see how intelligent and talented the main character was when she was asked to connect to her AI, which she later named Kimberly.

I loved the creativity of the author and his ability to bring the characters to life. I will award this book 5 out of 5 stars because I loved the amazing work the author did. The book was exceptional. I disliked nothing about this book. I did not find any grammatical errors while reading this book. I will recommend this book to people who are interested in sci-fi, adventure, mystery, and suspense.
