Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
The opening of Craig W. Stanfill's novel Terms of Service introduces us to Kim, the protagonist. Only the gender-neutral hues beige, light blue, and pale green are permitted in Kim's universe. In Kim's universe, home bots—robots that make daily life easier for people—are the norm. Kim has been a robot trainer for the Artificial Intelligence Company. She aspired to establish herself and advance when she started at the firm five years ago.
Kim lives in a plain home away from work in this society where there is no privacy or freedom. She must follow by a number of restrictions that encompass all facets of life, from eating habits to birthing, conversation subjects to entertainment preferences. Everything is assessed and monitored; breaking these regulations is met with swift and severe sanctions. Kim has started to notice that her job has become monotonous and dull, and she has come to the conclusion that her ostensibly flawless environment is seriously wrong. How can Kim escape the oppressive society she lives in? Kim's annoyance with her existence is increased by Kimberley, who or what she is, and why. And how can a run-in with a buddy alter Kim's life irrevocably?
Craig W. Stanfill's book Terms of Service was excellent. He does an excellent job of handling the topic of a society where nothing is questioned and every day is the same as the one before. The narrative has been carefully prepared and thought out. The characteristics of each individual and robot are so well described by Stanfill that I could readily imagine each one, even if there could have been some misunderstanding between the people and the robots. Because of Stanfill's literary prowess, it's simple to comprehend every aspect of this dystopian society. Stanfill's society is ruled by machines, yet the living circumstances are somewhat reminiscent of the modern world in that there is still a gap between the affluent and the poor. I also liked how my ideas about the future of my own planet were questioned.
I have absolutely nothing against Terms of Service, Craig W. Stanfill's first book. Adults who like science fiction and fantasy should check it out. Although there are several sexual and vivid passages about intimacy and sex, this novel does not include any profanity. Additionally, a lot of the sex in this novel is fueled by binge drinking and drug use, making it unsuitable for a younger readership.
I wish to give Craig W. Stanfill's book Terms of Service a rating of 5 out of 5. I did not come across any spelling or grammatical mistakes; the book has been flawlessly edited and proofread.
