Metaphors in the book
The terms of service themselves are in constant change but even the people themselves are being changed without notice.

"Subject to Change" is very much something we deal with in today's society.

I like that take! I hadn't even thought about what they title could mean, I just assumed it was something to do with Kimberly.Kelsey Roy wrote: ↑16 Dec 2022, 14:58 I agree with you that the title is a metaphor for the dystopian lifestyle of this world. Citizens are forced to bend over backwards to accommodate every little rule change that comes their way, which are rigidly enforced. The hierarchy will do anything to crush freedom in any instance. The book brings to light issues in our society with suppression of freedom- similar to George Orwell’s “1984.”

I agree with you. The changes are increasingly severe for that community, enslaving them and making them even more miserable.readingswithsoso wrote: ↑14 Dec 2022, 13:30 I aw it pretty straight forward but that's a curious take. People are always changing yes. However, in this world most of them are stagnant: miserably following rules.
When I look at it from that point of view, I only see cruelty on the part of those in power, who keep themselves hidden.
