Re: Review of Terms of Service

Thank you for your insightful review on "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill. It was just five years ago when Kim got the opportunity to work at the Artificial Intelligence Company. Craig has an excellent writing style that brings out a world dominated by machines and virtual reality simulations. It is easy to distinguish between the real and virtual worlds, the robots and humans. This interesting read is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited so I have decided to put this book on my shelf. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I'm a lover of technology at its best, it gives me joy each time I see advanced tech both in the movies or in real life. So I love the concept of this book, a world dominated by AI and robots it would definitely pleasure me to explore the vast area of technology that this book touches.

This isn't just another dystopian tale. Stanfill masterfully crafts a world that feels unsettlingly real. The vivid descriptions and complex characters create a truly immersive experience. You'll find yourself rooting for Kim as she grapples with a world devoid of free will, her love for Shan fueling her rebellion.

Get ready to be challenged. Stanfill's prose is sharp and thought-provoking, prompting introspection on the ever-increasing role of technology in our lives. The chilling parallels between the fictional world and our own reality will leave you pondering the true meaning of freedom and the dangers of unchecked technological advancement.

An engaging book. I am going to recommend that a colleague join me in following up on Kim's story and her Artificial Intelligence experiences. I look forward to an entertaining journey.

You did an amazing job describing the plot of this book. I'd love to know more of Kim's story, this is going straight to my WTR shelf. Well done!

With technology evolving very fast, "Terms of Service" gives a clear picture of how relationships between humans and robots would be and get along. I am curious of how Kim would fight the formidable enemies who have control in the world she lives in. Congratulations on BOTD!

There is a lot I like about this book, Terms of Service, the best, which is the unique plot. I like how it emphasizes the strict lifestyle imposed on the people. The gentle reveal of how the world worked to Kim made it stand out more. Congratulations on BOTD.

Kim needs to navigate a new world, the real world and virtual reality, a world with humans and robots. Will compassion and care prevail? In a grim future, will our humanity, controlled by robots and AI, still be able to flourish?

The review is all about the way Ai affects our day to day activities. How we find it difficult to adapt, just like Kim who had a free living environment unlike her work place where what she does at home might be a violation at her work place

What a great review of this weird book. I'm reading it, but slowly, because even though it's sci-fi, the world we live in now seems to be heading in this direction, which is a bit scary.

'Outside work, Kim lived in a nondescript house and wore mandatory pale beige, pale blue, or pale green attire, which were gender-neutral.'
No wonder life turned routine and bland for Kim. Her freedom was subtly taken from her.

I love dystopian settings for my reads, although this one seems to be hitting close to home, with our current all-in jump into AI in all aspects of society. After this review, I am excited to reading this book. Kim seems like a relatable character who just wants to live her life, even without the free will to do so. When it comes to AI, I am looking forward to a happy ending for Kim, and for us here in the real world. :D
