Terms of Service is a fascinating work of science fiction by Craig W. Stanfill. This book focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), or the development of a machine with a high level of human intelligence, and how AIs controlled everything that happened in the world. It also illustrates the drawbacks of AIs and how they adversely affected the psychological behaviour of people who didn't find the advancement comfortable. This book further demonstrates what the future might look like in which everyone must abide by the city's rules or face negative consequences. Everything from transportation, housing, feeding, businesses, relationships, and even childbearing and upbringing may be subject to high scrutiny by AIs in the future. Is that the future we want?

Follow Kim and her close friend Shan on their trip as they go out on an excursion one afternoon that results in the discovery of mind-blowing discoveries. Kim is the primary character of this novel and works for the AI Corporation. Because Kim didn't have a proper upbringing as a child due to the city's rules prohibiting parents from raising their children after they turn four, and because Kim had a strict mentor who constantly warned her against expressing too many emotions during her upbringing, you will learn the value of maternal care and how it can affect a person's psychological state in this book.

In this novel, Keli is another character who has a strong personality. She gave birth to a kid with her spouse, Jo, while fully aware that the child would be taken away once it turned four. I love her strong personality and character. The fact that the novel emphasized the value of friendship between Kim and Shan and how they respected their connection and experienced highs and lows together made it much more compelling to me. The author did a great job of portraying the character of Kim, who I thought was brave and determined to obtain what she desired in the end.

Although I found the book to be engrossing and fascinating the entire time I was reading, I didn't have any negative feelings about it.

As a result of all the characters being wonderful in every way and the absence of any errors, I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The book was exceptionally well edited as well. I'll recommend this book to those who are interested in artificial intelligence, and if you enjoy a little adventure, you should read it.
