Product Description

Warning: more stupidity ahead (also selfishness and horniness)

Nostradamus, step aside. Scott Adams has turned futurist and gives us a much needed look into his skewed crystal ball.

Here's a taste of what you'll learn in The Dibert Future:

• in the future, life definitely won't be like Star Trek (or else we'd never leave the holodeck)

• there will be a huge market for technology products that help workers goof off and still get paid

• Internet capacity will increase indefinitely to keep up with the egos of the people using it

• it will be increasingly easy to find customers gullible enough to buy any product, no matter how worthless and stupid it is

• your competitors will remain just as clueless as your are

There's only one word to describe life in The Dibert Future: HILARIOUS.

Amazon.com Review
Move over, Faith Popcorn! Cartoonist Scott Adams is back in book form, and this time he gives Dilbert and his cronies a free hand to forecast the trends that just might drive business and society during the next millennium. In typical Adams fashion, The Dilbert Future: Thriving on Stupidity in the 21st Century serves up a series of laugh-out-loud predictions on technology, marketing, work, jobs, gender relations, and even the future of democracy and capitalism.

From Scientific American
Thank God for Dilbert.

From The New Yorker
The management book of the century.

Best Dilbert Book Ever
Loved the book. This book showed perfectly how the world is becoming stupider by the minute. The pranks section is my favorite.(got some good ones)

The funniest Dilbert book around
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.

Yogurt in print!
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.
