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

Entrepreneur, July, 1997 by Debra Phillips

In the 21st century world that Dilbert and the gang preview, inanity is as omnipresent as air itself. To author Scott Adams' way of thinking, dealing with the gray-cell impaired ("Induhviduals") is the unfortunate reality. "I have compiled my predictions so you won't have any unpleasant surprises during the next millennium," he writes. "Any morning you're wondering whether it would be better to drown yourself in your cereal bowl or face 6 billion Induhviduals again, at least you'll be making an informed decision."

As was the case with previous outings, the best part of the book is the cartoons sprinkled liberally throughout. Sure, Adams offers amusing predictions on everything from future technology to the enormous profits to be made in drive-thru pet care, but it's still the comic strips that make the journey through The Dilbert Future a trip to remember.
