Nostradamus, or ‘Nostramadus,’ step aside. The creator of Dilbert—the comic strip that appears in over 2,000 newspapers, in 57 countries, and in 19 languages, worldwide—Scott Adams is for sure the new seer, albeit he’s as controversial as they come, but never ever bow down, come what may.
First things, first. Adams’ The Dilbert Future: Thriving on Business Stupidity in the 21st Century, was first published, by Boxtree—an imprint of Pan Macmillan—25 years ago. Adams donned his remarkable seer’s robes and turned his piercing eyes, and intellect, in the book with remarkable dexterity—not to speak of his trenchant, undulating wit on subjects as diverse as technology, the workplace, politics, elections, the battle of the sexes, drive-through pet care, and the possibility, also eventuality, of intelligent—or, stupid—life on other planets.
Result? His fascinating tome, which is timeless, and also strikingly relevant, cusps through all the global hype and hoopla, or call it what you may, to stretch our thoughts and practices beyond the edge of conventional thinking. It also unravels a mind-boggling mix of farce and facts, and vice versa, while wobbling our social precepts and percepts, like the fizz in a soda water bottle, leaving us gasping for breath—in awe, caustic mirth, or toxic wonder.
