5.0 out of 5 starsThe funniest Dilbert book around
By james@gooner71.freeserve.co.uk on June 23, 1999
Format: Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsYogurt in print!
By A Customer on June 29, 1999
Format: Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsAs funny a book as I've read in years!
By E. Kohen on April 13, 1999
Format: Paperback
I'm not the kind of guy who likes to draw attention to himself. My friends may contradict that, but it's true. So reading The Dilbert Future in public, after the first time I tried, was a real exercise in compromise, because I could not read as much as a page without laughing out loud. Loudly out loud. Loudly enough to attract attention. Adams' prose words are as biting/cynical/sarcastic/funny/accurate as are his cartoons. I'm buying a copy for my-son-the- engineer. So should you.

5.0 out of 5 starsI laughed out loud every page
By A Customer on December 14, 1998
Format: Paperback
Scott Adams is not only good at writing cynical amusing little comic strips, he is also good at writing cynical amusing books. I did think he was starting to wig out in the last chapters when he pontificated on reality and the meaning of life, though, but it didn't distract from the overall excellence of the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsA humorous view on 'reality'.
By kathmann@bart.nl on October 21, 1997
Format: Hardcover
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.

2.0 out of 5 starsKindle version is badly formatted mess!
By PJ Poston on November 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
I usually enjoy Adams' Dilbert cartoons, so I was surprised at the weakness of this book. Some reviewers here have complained about the writing being less funny than the cartoons, which it is. He does include some funny one-liners, however, and some of the jokes in prose are funny. (Not Dave Berry level, but funny anyway.) The main thing holding it back is the terrible Kindle formatting. The text looks like it was originally published on a 1990s era home printer, with spacing that throws the margins into a hodgepodge. The comics are reduced to the size of postage stamps, making the art difficult to view. If the results I got on my tablet are typical, the publisher should have reformated the text before making it available on Kindle. I've seen plenty of Kindle art done much better, including cartoons. Adams is a funny guy but I think he needs to go back to the drawing board for this one.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo Uncanningly Accurate, It's Scary!!!
By John N! Swegan (swiggy@chatnet.com) on December 14, 1998
Format: Paperback
From the Bible to Nostradamus to Jean Dixon to the Bankrupt Psychic Hotline, people have tried to predict what the future will hold. Scott Adams is the perfect soothesayer who doesn't try to soothe your ego. Extrapolating on current trends, he shows how the future will be shaped by a few humans with a modicum of intellegence even while being held back by the morons in high places.
This book is definately a keeper. I haven't seen this type of science fiction extrapolation since Asimov created psycho-history and Heinlein devised the future history!
Read about the future NOW!!! Before it becomes history!
