Craig W. Stanfill is at it again with another exceptionally written novel full of intrigue and excitement. In a dystopian world where artificial intelligence is the order of the day and controls every human activity and decision of humans, Craig creates a protagonist. Kim, who works at a sapient corporation where she trains robots in a simulated world controlled and dominated by artificial intelligence, soon comes to a realization of the truth when she meets Kimberly, an AI of her own creation that eventually helps her in her personal journey of discovery and rebellion. Is Kim ready to rebel against a seemingly perfect simulated world and possibly end civilization itself?

Terms of Service is a science fiction novel in which the author crafts a well-built dystopian universe dominated by artificial intelligence, a place where self-will and personal interest are nonexistent. Everything, ranging from music to food to entertainment, is decided for you. One unique thing about Craig's book is not just the style in which it is written, but the world itself, which gives us a sneak peak into a futuristic setting that could possibly be the fate of humans as far as technological advancement is concerned.

The ability for Craig to take a science fiction novel and relate it to life and self-discovery was a thought provoking process for readers. This well-built world has a very dominant theme of totalitarianism. The corporations control everything, including the will of humans. The author takes us on a very wild and enjoyable journey with no freedom or privacy. Imagine being told what to eat and what to wear in a place where the word "I" is an abominable concept.
 
Imagine a world where you constantly have eyes on you, even in personal things such as who to have sex with, and any act of slight rebellion leads to severe punishments. Craig W. Stanfill created a seemingly perfect world and showed that "perfection" is an illusion. He teaches us to love our world and our free will while incorporating the idea that humans are always going to be superior to machines, no matter how advanced they become. 
 
There was nothing I disliked about this book. I highly recommend it for sci-fi and dystopian lovers. It is thought-provoking, with a lot of conflicts and tension to keep you on the edge of your seat. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. There were no grammatical errors. It was well written.
