Terms and Conditions was a very decent novel where I had no real expectations. It seemed like an interesting topic, but also a topic that can be kind of boring (a terms and conditions that we all agree to without reading). I was pleasantly surprised as it was a lot more than just that topic, it was more about the human psyche and what we think vs what we would actually do. There is also a couple little love stories mixed in, but they are not too distracting and help showcase our decision process. I think this was the only book I have read where the "hackers" or "geniuses" in the book don't just know everything about every operating system and piece of hardware; it was a little refreshing and more realistic even though it was thrown in a little too much.The only thing that I didn't like about the book was how deep the religious aspects got to showcase the good verses evil in your average person. It's not that I am anti-religion or don't like reading about it, I just found it to be too fantastical to keep in the realm of possibility. I still trudged on hoping that it would get more believable, and I understand why the author chose the options he chose, I just found that it didn't pull me in or make me believe it could happen.Overall, other than the religious aspect, it was a very good book and I would recommend for people who are into the human condition of being stuck with our faces in our devices and those that realize that our mind and our actions are usually two very different things.
