The Dilbert Future: Thriving on Stupidity in the 21st Century

With this book, Scott Adams follows in the footsteps of other great futurists, i.e., sitting at home making stuff up that can't be proven wrong for many years. Featuring the same mix of essays and cartoons that made The Dilbert Principle so uniquely entertaining, The Dilbert Future offers predictions on business, technology, society, and government. Some predictions include: children are our future, so grab what you can while they're still too little to stop us; and humans will finally learn to use the 90 percent of the brain we don't use today, and find out that there wasn't anything in that part.

5The funniest Dilbert book around  Jun 23, 1999
By james@gooner71.freeserve.co.uk
The Dilbert Future follows in Dilbert tradition of being hilarious. Adams' cynical view of the general state of the human race present and future is spelt out in a book which brings laughs from beginning to end. Of his three 'real' books, The Dilbert Future is the one that I enjoyed most. The cartoons which he has included perfectly complement the text and the well picked true anecdotes always confirm his relatively 'worrying' theories. He covers all subjects from why the future will not be like Star Trek to why those who can work computers will become the sexiest people on the planet - no issue is left untouched. If you are looking for a serious book, stay well away. But lighten up too, and buy the funiest Dilbert book Adams has written.

5Yogurt in print!  Jun 29, 1999

You have never seen a humor book like this one and you may not see one again. It starts off as a collection of old strips, then moves into straight social satire and finally into Adams' very unconventional views on reality and the meaning of life.

If you know what you like and just want more and more of the same, this book may not be for you; but if you have an inquisitive mind, you must read it. You won't agree with, or like, all of it but you will have broadened your horizons. I would compare this book to yogurt. It's good for you, you may like it or hate it, but you owe it to yourself to at least try it.

5As funny a book as I've read in years!  Apr 14, 1999
By E. Kohen
I'm not the kind of guy who likes to draw attention to himself. My friends may contradict that, but it's true. So reading The Dilbert Future in public, after the first time I tried, was a real exercise in compromise, because I could not read as much as a page without laughing out loud. Loudly out loud. Loudly enough to attract attention. Adams' prose words are as biting/cynical/sarcastic/funny/accurate as are his cartoons. I'm buying a copy for my-son-the- engineer. So should you.

5I laughed out loud every page  Dec 15, 1998

Scott Adams is not only good at writing cynical amusing little comic strips, he is also good at writing cynical amusing books. I did think he was starting to wig out in the last chapters when he pontificated on reality and the meaning of life, though, but it didn't distract from the overall excellence of the book.
