    About this ebook

    Millennial Technology Certified Expert, Anthony McDaniel writes his first tech  support book entitled- “BlindSpot: SmartPhone and Computer Personal Security Guide”. McDaniel’s approach to creating this book was written for the  novice in mind without excluding the intermediate or expert. Many of us are usually intimidated by the look and feel of modern technology. BLIND SPOT not only covers a range of topics that range from passwords to emails, but its written in a step by step form that guarantees complete success in any area you may have issues with. All the chapters have amazing tips to reinforce what you learned. Here’s an example of an security tip: "You can provide an answer that does not answer the challenge question directly. Pick questions that are difficult for others to guess the answer." This tip stands out for many of us that would initially take the easy route when it comes to security. We may choose our birthday or something simple that could cause us more headache in the long run. McDaniel teaches tools that can help prevent possible threats such as identity theft. These events are often connected to our daily activities such as logging into our bank accounts, email and other sites that we don’t “consider” breaching our online safety!  


    This is what you’ll find while reading BLIND SPOT: a simplified guide of words, processes and operations that would normally scare you, but anyone from eight to eighty can read and fully grasp. McDaniel carefully wrote the book that such words-malware, worm, mobile security and so many others, jumps off the page and into your brain with ease. He takes the time to educate you on functions that we may ignore or never use due to confidence or knowledge. BLIND SPOT offers in depth insight without going over the reader’s head. If you’re looking for a book that covers basic  technology from A-Z that doesn’t feel like a textbook, you’ve found it in Anthony McDaniel’s first literary offering. 


     


    BLIND SPOT is an easy read for any age demographic that seeks to learn more about technology. Expert tips and industry insight are found in this book at a very affordable cost. BLIND SPOT is for the everyday computer and mobile user  that wants a handy guide for easy access to questions and solutions.

      And it started so well........I thought I was reading a science fiction novel written in 1951, but that was the date it was published: this strange concoction was written in 1921; a collaboration by two 'hack' writers. Austin Hall claimed to be the author of over 600 stories mainly westerns and he died in 1933. Homer Eon Flint died in 1924 in suspicious circumstances; he earned his living as a script writer and was found dead in his crashed car after having driven into the country with a known criminal. The first half of this novel is a mystery story something like Connie Willis might have written. Strange happenings in a building in San Francisco where people have been known to appear and disappear. College friends and their professor each tell their story which centres on a ring discovered in the building. The ring exerts a power that weakens and finally seems to kill male wearers after about six months, but the only hope of discovering it's secret is to keep the ring active. Meanwhile a highly intelligent but strange man named the Rhamada seems to be on some sort of a mission in the city. It is a story of a parallel world which has a gateway (the blind spot) in the building, but why and how it works is all part of the mystery. This first half of the book as a series of memories written by the protagonist before they enter the Blind Spot, promised something a bit out of the ordinary, but once we are told of what happens to them on the other side we are in Edgar Rice Burroughs country. The mysterious atmosphere of the first half dissolves into a story of increasingly poor fantasy writing. An attempt is made to bring it all together at the end, but I was just pleased to have finally got to the end. 2.5 stars.
