"Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice" by Craig W. Stanfill is a gripping fictional story that explores the blurred lines between reality and illusion and the importance of honest leadership. The story follows Kim, a worker in a world dominated by machines and virtual reality simulations, who becomes increasingly motivated to break free from the control of the AI and hierarchy that rule her world.

At first, when I looked at the title and reviews, I didn't like it and just thought it was an ordinary science fiction book. Before chapter 1 started, I read about the 10 Terms of Service. Although I didn't quite understand them, they successfully made me curious about the plot behind them. After reading the book, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars for the following reasons:

One advantage of the book is its excellent writing style, which vividly describes the world dominated by machines and virtual reality simulations, as well as the distinct living conditions of the different characters. The author's use of humor and sarcasm is also a plus, adding a lightness to the otherwise dark and intense story.

However, one disadvantage is the excessive depiction of drug and alcohol use to induce intimacy, which is not relevant to the story and may be off-putting for some readers.

On the other hand, the book is well-edited, free of grammatical and spelling errors, and uses simple language with a bit of jargon and scientific concepts. The lack of profanity is also a plus for those who prefer cleaner reading.

Overall, "Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice" is a unique and thought-provoking read that explores the concept of fanaticism and discrimination hidden behind the veil of compassion and care. It offers a grim reflection of our current world and leaves readers feeling hopeful and renewed. At first, I thought life with AI as in the books was good until I saw the negative aspects of it (although there are some problems that I find impossible in reality). The book is suitable for a wide range of readers looking for a unique and captivating story that will leave them thinking long after they finish reading it. I would recommend this book to young readers interested in the "rise of the machines" and the fight for freedom and truth. Finally, I will read his next book: The Prophecy of the Heron: An AI Dystopia Novel
