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 novel that reveals the likely nature of the near future and makes the prediction that AI will rule over the human race. In Craig's experiential work, he suggested that individuals be separated at an early age from their birth givers when they have not developed intimacy yet and be assigned AI that will mentor and control them in all they do. The author uses Kim as the chief dramatic character in the novel. The book has nineteen chapters divided into three parts, where the first part summarizes Kim's concerns over the emptiness of her body and her inability to think for herself, the second part addresses her actual service and how she gets to the aspect of creating Kimberly, and the last part focuses more on her choices and costs for personal liberty.
Young adult Kim spends five years training automata in the headquarters of an AI company. She was separated from her mother at an early age, like every other child, and was assigned a mentor with a neural implant that could detect and control her thoughts. She never had freedom, even as an adult, and this makes her depressed. However, she was promoted to the order of creation after being admonished for violating the rules for movement. Kim was more successful than her colleagues but was still never satisfied; instead, she sought freedom. For more information, pick up your copy.
There are so many positive aspects of this book, which are also what I like about it, but I will list a few. The book is simple to comprehend and does not contain too many scientific terms. The author's writing style enables the reader to read easily. The English writing is clear and simple, and the plot is well structured. The book is not restricted to a special group of people or professionals but enlightens everyone.
Terms of Service help us foresee what the civilized world we yearn for will look like. It also gives a practical means of building advanced AI and the age at which individuals should be separated from their birthmothers to achieve complete control of human beings. It creates awareness in the minds of readers and scientists. I learned that, despite the potential a computerized world might have, it would never be able to completely replace humans as the ones who design and train artificial intelligence. Again, I learned that the freedom to live a private life should be respected in the civilized world as a special consideration and human right for all human beings.
There are few profane words used in this book. One thing I dislike about it is the author's choice of using feminine pronouns for everyone, therefore creating confusion as to whether the company workers are gender specific. The book is exceptionally well-edited edited with zero grammatical or spelling errors. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars, for fact it contains no typo nor grammatical error. I recommend those interested in knowing more about the future and the philosophers to read this book. I also recommend it to students studying computer science and becoming programmers.
