Summary: A very funny read in the style of Dave Barry!
Review: This is the only Scott Adams book I have, and I found it absolutely hilarious! It took me a long time to read because I kept laughing so hard. I've read a lot of funny books by Dave Barry, Ellen Degeneres, Paul Reiser, and many, many others, and this is right up there with the best of them. And his ideas about how to control your fate are very similiar to the visualization techniques used by athletes today.

Summary: Is by no means as humorous as the cartoons
Review: I listened to this 90 minute casette in my car on a recent trip, and essentially spent 90 minutes waiting for it to either 1) make me laugh, or 2) make me think about a typical work situation and say "how true". This casette by no means compares with the Dilbert cartoon. I love Dilbert, but this product does him no justice what so ever!

Summary: One of the funniest books I have ever read.
Review: This book was outstanding. I loved the dilbert comics that exampled the topic he was writeing on. For my money I thought it was well spent. I also liked the end with the topics being very interesting. Been to North Dakota and Scott is right.

Summary: Best Dilbert yet
Review: Perhaps I just identify with Adams a little too well. I think everyone feels they are surrounded by mental midgets, but Adams has managed to say that in the context of humor, thereby avoiding that better-than-thou feeling. The last chapter is different, playful and, as intended, thought provoking, but doesn't hold up to close examination. That okay, since that wasn't the point. Sometimes the walk down the blind alley helps you see a new shortcut... most of the time, though, you just get mugged :)

Summary: A humorous view on 'reality'.
Review: Many people have enjoyed Scott Adams' view on life, through the Dilbert comics and books, where almost every aspect of our everyday life was subjected to Mr. Adams scrutinising but hilariously funny judgement. This latest installment in the Dilbert saga provides more than just a look into what might happen in the next number of years, it allows us to peek into what more can go wrong, mainly due to the increasing amount of InDUHviduals. Mr. Adams has added a final twist by providing us with a sneak peek into his personal view on Life, The Universe and Everything (yes, this is a reference to the other Mr. Adams, although this Mr. Adams did not intend it). This is truly the icing on the cake, and proves that the author is more than a bard: he is the druid of observational comedy. A book I for one could not put down (it took me at least 30 minutes even after I'd finished it): an excellent, fantabulous, funny-beyond-adjectives read. A must-have for fans, a get-now for all others.

Summary: Amusing, but no Dilbert Principle
Review: While I have to agree that the book is at its best when Scott is talking about Business, some of his predictions for the future and his comments on today are 100% dead on. The only drawbacks are his constant comments about how he was too lazy to do research or how his statistics may not be completely right. One statement in the front of the book would have been sufficient. I also thought the last two chapters, although tacked on, made for interesting reading. I felt like Ratbert "my brain hurts". Overall, a good, quick read.

Summary: Scott Adams does it with Dilbert again!
Review: "The Dilbert Future" is THE book for all futurists. In it, you will find over 50 insightful predictions for the future on hot topics like retirement, children, the internet, Star Trek, clothing, censorship, energy sources, life on other planets, voting, sex, jobs, marketing, crime, the media, food, and more!
If his cartoons and forecast for the future aren't enough to keep you on your toes, Adams also offers his own twisted theories of time, the movement of objects, gravity, cause and effect, and chaos. Also as a bonus feature, he shows you how you - the skeptic - can predict your own future!
If you're looking for a new and interesting view of the future, then this book is not worth skipping, but if you want a laugh attack, don't bother with it, as it isn't Adams, Dilbert, Dogbert, or anyone else at their best

Summary: when he's good, he's good . . . .
Review: When Scott Adams sticks to the business world, he is the mordant, trenchant observer we have come to know and love. However, when he moves into other social commentary (gender relations, for example), he sounds more like a refugee from the Dave Barry Writers' School for Social Satirists. The last chapter (random thoughts about cosmic things) should have been omitted. There are hundreds upon hundreds of other writers and thinkers past and present who might better be consulted--he is a new player at an old game. Overall, worth reading if you've enjoyed his other efforts. If you haven't, start with The Dilbert Principle
