Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice by Craig W. Stanfill is centered on Kim, who works with an artificial intelligence transportation company. She works as an assistant trainer for the company. The company has been alerted to the activities of a group termed the "antimentorist group." This group seems to have violated its terms by keeping children hostage which is meant to have been handed over to their mentors. Who are these mentors? What is the criterion for handing over a child to a mentor? For clarity, read this engaging book.

I learned numerous lessons from this book. First, the author made us see things differently from the normal way things play out in a real-life situation. I kept wondering and imagining the possibility of such a society existing. A society that ensures its citizens follow its rules strictly and fails to adhere faces penalties. Even though such a society may not exist at this time, it can be predicted to exist in the future. This is part of the creativity exhibited by the author in this book. Also, I love the suspense included, as I could not predict the next line of action for the characters.

Also, at the beginning of the book, the author gave an introduction to the terms and the use of pronouns. This will aid the reader in gaining a better understanding of what the story entails. The creativity put into this book by the author should be appreciated because I have never come across such concepts as those contained in this book before.

Though the author gave an introduction of the terms at the beginning of the book, the story seemed to drag at the beginning, and I was unclear where the story was leading. It was only subsequently that it became interesting and engaging. As much as I appreciate the creativity of the author implored in this book, I did not desire such a kind of society as the one portrayed in this book to exist. This is because the rules will limit human freedom and initiative in many ways.

I will rate this book five out of five stars because of the author's creativity and the concept of this book. The comments mentioned in the fourth paragraph are mere observations and did not prevent me from enjoying the book. Therefore, apart from any observations mentioned above, there was nothing else I disliked in this book. I did not find any errors in it, which implies that it was exceptionally well-edited. I will recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books related to artificial intelligence.
