"I like Dilbert, and this was a fine, though uninspired, collection, until the last chapter. At that point it became interesting. The science is nothing groundbreaking, but it's a welcome reminder to look at the world differently. " — Rocketkoala (4 out of 5 stars)

“The management book of the century.”
“Adams draws hilariously absurdist conclusions from his peripatetic observations. His targets include genetically engineered children, the chaos theory, life on other planets, euthanasia, frequent flier programs, clothes, and bicycle seats. Although Adams admits that it is impossible to know the future because the unexpected usually happens, he also argues that we will always be able to depend on the existence of stupidity and its predictable effects.”

“Thank God for Dilbert.”
" Scott Adams is very clever. He throws in lots of ideas and opinions, some of which make a lot of sense, some not so much. But a fun and great read, well worth it, plus he throws in lots of his comic strips! "
" To get one thing straight from the beginning: Dilbert cartoons suck! Most of the time they are not funny at all and on the rare occasions that actually a punch line exists it will come up in the last but one picture but never in the last one (where you usually have some dull line ruining the bit of humor you could detect in the picture before). Besides of the cartoons the rest of the book is testimony for arrogance and presumptuousness, for a deep contempt for fellow people, for cynicism and sarcasm and for a considerable degree of self-loathing. To put it in a nutshell: It's excellent reading!!! The only downfall is the last couple of chapters in which the author outlines some alternative ways of experiencing and perceiving 'reality'. He purposely rids these chapters of any humor and irony. But since he announces this at the beginning of these chapters you can just avoid reading them. "
" This book was a rather quick and entertaining read-through. I liked the combination of text and comic. Adams is shifting between humor and things, that have sadly come to pass already, so it's not just a non-stop-laugh. But I laughed out loudly a few times and could not stop reading it all to the end. The last chapter is quite mind-boggling, I loved that he showed us not just the humorous side. I wonder if he shouldn't write a book about that and not include it in this book. "
" Constantly amusing take on the future, Dilbert style! "
" Not nearly as good as the earlier 'Dilbert Principle', I found it a disappointment after reading the earlier book and the cartoon strip for many years. "
" The book was quite good read. But towards the end, the fun factor is less. Overall, i enjoyed reading this book. "
" absolutly hilarious "
" If you're a fan of Dilbert, you'll like this book. Adams comments on a range of issue and extrapolates how this will translate into future trends. Interestingly enough, he failed to predict the rise of "reality" TV. Generously sprinkled with Dilbert strips throughout. "
" Adams is witty, but some of this stuff is certifiable crap. "
" Brilliantly humorous book on future of work, technology and democracy. One of the funniest books I've ever read - kind of like Douglas Adams for techies. "
" i think scott adams is a better writer than a cartoonist "
" Another great slightly non-fiction dilbert book. "
" Flat out funny, and scarily true "
" A laugh riot. "
" Somewhat funny book with supporting (but not new) comics. "
" Much funnier than his last written book the Dilbert Principle, in this book Adams makes predictions about the future, most of them pretty ludicrous but mostly hilarious as well. "
" Adams' typical snide attitude. But not as incisive or funny as the Dilbert strip. "
" Scott Adams does it again. Fun filled, hilarious and most of his predictions are quite interestingly true! "
" There's a lot more in Scott Adam's head than just some witty cartoons. This guy has some amazing insight into life, business and especially your business life. "
" sindiran keras terhadap teknologi. Scott Adams menulis ironi kehidupan lewat kartun ini secara jenius. 250 halaman tebalnya namun perlu perbaikan translasi di lain waktu "
" Its good .. Its humourous and it provides a new view of the exiting things... It becomes more interesting towards the end. Illustrations are too good. "
" Some books can take the reader on a fantasic journey - this book just makes me feel I was taken for a ride when I parted with my cash.Not a patch on The Dilbert Principle. "
" Turns out I've read this before! hehehe, but it's SOOO much fun, I'm gonna finish it again :) "
" Dilbert, with about 20 pages of new age philosophy. Telecom is such a rapidly growing iundustry, that this is funny to read with today's knowledge. "
" If ever some one was born with the perfect 'politically' incorrect office humor its Scott Adam .... this guy has a microphone in every office going body probably as he writes what we all are thinking in the glorious office meeting precisily. "
