Detective Dan Brandon is the special investigator who only takes cases that involve a Techno-Crime. He receives an early morning call from the CEO of Gladstone Electronics, Harold Remkin. The young genius responsible for the development of a special prototype, laptop super-computer was missing along with the laptop. Brandon conceded that it was a Techno-Crime but Remkin wanted him to proceed without the help of the police.The CEO feared that his competitors might find Bob Clauson and the laptop before he did.The Lab Director said he would not be able to put the prototype into production without Clauson. When Brandon agreed to take the case he understood all of the implications, including that it would not be a job he could quit.

After years of exile, humanity has banded together, waiting for his fateful coming... On Earth, the evil Vampire overlords prepare to do battle with him... Both races, enemies to each other, seek to befriend him... For they know his power... He is the Falsifier. In the far future, the last free humans have fled to a massive space station in Earth's orbit. On the planet below lurk their oppressors: a race of vampires who seek to breed and harvest them like animals. Orphaned as a child, Alex grows to manhood in the shadow of his legendary father who united the scattered remnants of humanity. But as he takes up his father's banner, he uncovers a frightening secret about himself: he is the Falsifier, fated to bring down the Vampire Empire. As he struggles with his destiny, the vampires abduct him in a surprise raid. With humanity's survival at stake, Alex must find-and fight-his way back and take his place in history.

In Bitstreams, Matthew G. Kirschenbaum distills twenty years of thinking about the intersection of digital media, textual studies, and literary archives to argue that bits—the ubiquitous ones and zeros of computing— always depend on the material world that surrounds them to form the bulwark for preserving the future of literary heritage.

Written to bridge the information needs of management and computational scientists, this book presents the first comprehensive treatment of Computational Red Teaming (CRT). The author describes an analytics environment that blends human reasoning and computational modeling to design risk-aware and evidence-based smart decision making systems. He presents the Shadow CRT Machine, which shadows the operations of an actual system to think with decision makers, challenge threats, and design remedies. This is the first book to generalize red teaming (RT) outside the military and security domains and it offers coverage of RT principles, practical and ethical guidelines. The author utilizes Gilbert’s principles for introducing a science. Simplicity: where the book follows a special style to make it accessible to a wide range of readers. Coherence: where only necessary elements from experimentation, optimization, simulation, data mining, big data, cognitive information processing, and system thinking are blended together systematically to present CRT as the science of Risk Analytics and Challenge Analytics. Utility: where the author draws on a wide range of examples, ranging from job interviews to Cyber operations, before presenting three case studies from air traffic control technologies, human behavior, and complex socio-technical systems involving real-time mining and integration of human brain data in the decision making environment.
