DESCRIPTION:
. 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. 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
With this book, 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. Nobody is spared this time. Now he takes the next step, turning his keen analytical focus on how human greed, stupidity and horniness will shape the future. Some predictions: Children: They are our future, so we're pretty much hosed. Tip: Grab what you can while they're still too little to stop us. The Olympics will expand to include new events such as Complaining and Slow Driving. 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. In The Dilbert Principle and current bestseller Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook, Scott Adams skewers the absurdities of today's
ken corbett said Five Stars. Great,. Bookish Girl said Grab Your Shades and Step Into The Future. This is one to keep on your bookshelf. I had to replace the copy I lent to a friend, because the friend wanted to keep it. Scott Adams is his usual, funny self--he seems to have worked where I once did (or maybe he just has spies there?). In any case, most of the book is LOL funny, but I found the last chapter pretty interesting and thought-provoking. It's definitely worth a read even if you don't agree with everything Adams puts forth--and he'll tell you that himself!. Wonderful book. Light humor, then good stuff THE DILBERT FUTURE is a good book of light humor (essentially the strip in novel form) for the majority of the book. Though not as good as THE DILBERT PRINCIPLE, it is still enjoyable. Then the book becomes great.After 200 some pages of stuff like "Prediction Number Whatever: In the future, we'll have whales" the second-to-last chapter starts out "The Theory of Evolution will be Scientifically Disproven in your lifetime." After that the book becomes wonderful (and makes up for the 3 star quality of the rest of it). Very, very interesting.
