When Kim got the opportunity to study Artificial Intelligence at a prestigious school and eventually work with the Artificial Intelligence Company, she was excited and felt lucky. Things were working out fine for her. She was an AI trainer who aspired to work with more advanced AI. She worked diligently to climb up her career ladder. However, she began to be filled with growing unease and a certain emptiness she could not explain. Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a complete thrill in a class of its own. In this dystopian world where everything looks in perfect order on the outside, freedom and free will become a battle that only the formidable can withstand, no matter the outcome.

Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a very insightful book. We have come so far into technology use and have yet to learn how deeply technology affects us. The book shows a grave perception of where we are heading as humans. We see our current level of technological growth and how deeply it has embedded itself in our daily routines. The rate of reliance and usage in our present world makes this science fiction more of a realistic foreshadowing of the future. I now see the probability of my devices being the source of unauthorized surveillance because they gather so much data. I do not want to think of the unpleasant results.

Craig W. Stanfill created a captivating work that speaks volumes and is entirely fascinating. The writing style was top-notch, making the book understandable despite its complexity. Kim tries her best to be a good citizen and follow the rules, but somehow she lands herself in situations that only worsen things. Her unauthorized wild adventure with her best friend Shan finally lands her on a higher playing field with much bigger demands. Kim is a driven young woman with a great work ethic. Although she finds herself in a forced role, she still does an excellent job.

I commend Craig W. Stanfill for putting so much data and research into this book. The book is nothing short of a masterpiece. The switch from the real world to virtual reality was smooth. Every single thing is probed, and every minute detail is scrutinized. All infringements, no matter how minor, are met with immediate punishment. With the AIs and the Hierarchy in charge, free will and privacy are nonexistent. What I liked most about the book was Kim's character. She lived in reasonable comfort. She had good friends. She was well grounded. I love how she grew from an emotional person trying to find herself to a bold, determined person who would decide to take control of her life.

Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice is a gem. It concludes with mixed feelings of hope and anticipation. I am looking forward to getting started on the sequel. It was edited exceptionally well. There were no grammatical errors. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to lovers of science fiction and technological advancement. It offers so much, and you must read it to find that out.
