Illustrated by Jeff Haas and published by IT Harvest Press, "SCADA and Me"
tells the story of Little Bobby, who has been asked to protect SCADA but
doesn’t know what it is, and his friend Matt, who gives him a guided tour of
systems that use SCADA. It is by turns informative and sarcastic, and actually

It started when "I briefed a team that should have known better," Lee told
Quartz on the phone from Germany, where he is based. "They came to me
[afterwards] and said let us know when you have a non-technical version because
we didn't understand." Lee's talk was the non-technical version. He returned
home dispirited and wrote the book as a way of venting his frustration. It was,
