I love Scott Adams

It's no secret. I am in love with Scott Adams and I don't mind to turn into a heterosexual to prove my point. Okay! A little overboard. I have half finished reading "Dilbert Future", which happens to be my 5th Adam's, and again I can't stop giggling and laughing and muttering on every single page. On a serious note, I am no expert of books and not eligible to write a proper review. But then if Scott Adams can write a book then I can review it.
Dilbert future has to be worst Adams book by far. But still it's very amusing and very involving. It is no match to other Adam's work "Dilbert Principle" or "Seven years of highly defective People", but still it looks good. In a nut shell, Adam is predicting future on various aspect such as technology, human relationship, democracy etc etc. Brilliance of him is that he never gives you a feeling that he is serious about any of the word he has to say in his book. His personal goal from this book as it seems:
If something comes out as total rubbish: Hey! I was just kidding or what you are expecting from a Cartoonist.
But If something comes good, picked by some high profile B School then: Hey! What do you all think of me - a cartoonist? Well, news flash, I am more than cartoons.
Anyway, I don't want to discuss more on what was his intention for writing this book besides making money.
Coming back to book, cartoons are not as funny as I expect from Adams. But content is all right. In fact cartoons are so low that I do not feel to flip pages and read the cartoons first as I did with other Adam's books (Yes! his cartoons are great in other books). The new word carved by this master mind for this book is : "In-duh-viduals". These are supposedly idiots who are in abundance on this planet. If you want to know more on Induhvidual then I would recommend to get a copy of this book from library.
There are various one liners as you would expect from Adams. My favorite line from the book is - " You can never underestimate the stupidity of induhvidual". There is one more “When it comes to voting, I am barely smart enough to know that I am a total idiot." There are few more but I am sure you will find out those when you will have a copy of "Dilbert Future" in your hands.
