# "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.03 - Sleeves Illusion" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Blind Spots

On 2020-03-15, Daniel Comp published "SCOTOMAVILLE 01.03 - Sleeves Illusion" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 2, Scotomas: Seeing What You Haven't Seen, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

In the books: Trilogy 01.03.
