Terms of service: subject to change without notice by Craig W Stanfill examines the rebellion of Kim, the main character of the book, who works as an assistant artificial intelligence trainer in an AI company's regional headquarters. She wishes to climb the ladders of this dystopian world and fulfill her ambition of getting to the top of the food chain. But things take a sharp turn when she is tasked with a responsibility and promoted to a higher level. Kim begins to question the world she has known her entire life. But would she be able to deal with the consequences that come with rebellion against the terms of the world she knows?
 
   Craig created this fascinating dystopian world filled with totalitarianism. A place where every single detail of your life is decided for you. Ranging from your choice of entertainment, intimacy partner, food, music etc. It is a place where order is forcefully instilled in a person and any attempt to go outside the laid down rules would result in strict punishment. It is quite obvious that due to technological advancements our world could possibly reach that level of artificial intelligence. Craig exploited this possibility and delivered a well written virtual reality that is beyond captivating.
 
  In a world where privacy has been snatched away from the citizens and gender identity is non existent, Craig makes it known that the concept of 'perfect leadership' is non existent and that human beings with free will are always going to be superior than machines. I particularly enjoyed Kim's journey of discovery. It glued my attention instantly when Kim began to question the terms of service. Craig created the brave character that wasn't afraid to do what needed to be done especially where using the word 'I' was considered a crime.
 
 I found no dislikes in this book. I absolutely love Craig's stylism. For a book with alot of features and ideas, it was well executed and I commend his ability to avoid any form of confusion for readers when reading about his dystopian world. I rate it a five out of five stars because there were no grammatical errors. It was well written and excellently delivered. There were some erotic scenes and substance use but it did not cloud the main theme the book was trying to get across.
 
I recommend this book for Sci fi lovers, those who love to read about Artificial intelligence and tech enthusiasts. It is a thought provoking book with alot of tension and conflicts to keep you on your toes. I really enjoyed every bit of it.
