WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium." That chapter is called "What's At Stake", and is a treatment of huge vulnerabilities involving utilities (water, power, policing, etc.) and systems (banking, communications, hospitals, food production and distribution, etc.) in the event of natural and man-made attacks and disasters (including EMP - Electro-magnetic Pulse). This interview is phenomenal, and touches on it at the end - http://www.businessforum.com/DScott_02.html - but you really need to read that last chapter - Chapter 21 - in the book. Highly recommended - and really, it's a word to the wise; the whole book is a solid investment for business. Run to the library and read the last chapter of the book “I.T.
