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 science-fiction and fantasy book that projects a prospective image of the possible look of life sometime in the future within the Artificial Intelligence Surveillance State. With the incorporation of robotics, automation, and machinery in today's life, there are terms to abide by. The narration starts with the story of a distracted youth, Kim. She was down-weighed by misfortunes and the storms of life. She was collecting herself to make realizable life. The Artificial Intelligence Company that hired her seemed to burden the possibility of her recovery. Off from her chores, she went bike riding for a hike with her friend Shan. What was an adventure turned to be a center of attraction for violation of terms, one after the other: talk of the terms within The Food Company, The Clothing Company, The Music Company, The Delivery Company, and The Transport Company, among others that seemed to work within the same frameworks. What was Kim's future with The Intelligence Company? Mound her to be a better person? Oppress her?
The book is educative on the dangers of being curious and zealous to the extent of being in places and zones one is not supposed to be in. For instance, Kim and Shan crossed into a prohibited property, only to land in danger and brought upon violation of set terms. Again, the book is thought-provoking on various aspects of life. How would life be if there were no terms to govern the application of freedom? Would the weight of laws of the land be felt? Would life be bearable? Once more, the book's setting reflects what the youths in society portray in their lives, where they overlook the consequences of ignoring alerts and set rules as long as they cure their anxiety. Moreover, the book is a mind-opener. It gives an image of terms made purposely to bring harmony in daily interactions and not to bring slavery to obedience. Furthermore, as a pure work of fiction, the narrations become a reality through a coincidence where the affairs of Kim match that of youths today, obsessed with addiction and struggling to rediscover focus in life.
The turn of events in the first few chapters is burdening, making the flow drag.
I rate this book five out of five stars. The book's editing is exceptional. The flow of events aligns with the suggestions of the title, Terms of Service. The weight of the negative aspects is insignificant to the rating.
I recommend this book to young adults going through a moment of recollection. Life could have projected its unfair end, but there is a lot in it about the storyline of this book.
