Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
The exciting science fiction book Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill examines how artificial intelligence has affected contemporary society, subjected to change without warning. It draws attention to how it has an impact on both gender and race, among other facets of personality. Even though it has certain benefits, it accurately captures a dystopian society with a strong technological impact that has a profound sense of loss of self and identity.
The book's main character, Kim, is an outstanding agent of the AI mentoring program. She finds work as an assistant trainer for automatons, which are machines incapable of independent thought. In this role, she occasionally works with actual artificial intelligence. She gradually discovers that her life is uninteresting, and she tries to hide this sense of emptiness from the system in order to avoid being sanctioned. The system was upset because Kim was able to embark on a journey of self-discovery with the aid of Shan, her best friend. The system's restrictions contrast with Shan, who is carefree and free-spirited because humans aren't permitted to make their own decisions or deviate from the guidelines established by the AI companies. As Kim learns things about herself that the AI system isn't really happy with, her future is in jeopardy. Much to the chagrin of higher forces, she now must struggle to hold onto this sense of self that she eventually discovers. Will she succeed, or will it be an impossible mission for her to complete?
The many sci-fi allusions that were cleverly woven throughout the book are ones that I actually enjoy. With so much depth added to the plot, the author—who holds a PhD in artificial intelligence—did an excellent job. The book is particularly special because it provides readers with extensive knowledge of the potential impact of technology on humans. Both the plot and the dialogue were enjoyable to read.
In my opinion, the book was well-written and structured, so there wasn't anything to dislike about it. The character growth during the course of the book was excellent, and some of the AI references were just mind-blowing.
I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars since it was an engaging read with a fresh idea. The speech was very fluid and engrossing, and it was just perfect. The book was professionally edited and error-free. I'd recommend this book to fans of science fiction and technology.
