New Releases by Scott Adams

Dilbert and his co-workers cope with senior management, the pointy-haired boss, Dogbert, Catbert, and each other as they struggle to survive, in a collection of excerpts from the comic strip about life at a large corporation.

In his twenty-ninth book, Dilbert and his coworkers prove that PowerPoint presentations are at best perfunctory, CEO''s are clueless, and the Office Nemesis will ever be a force to be reckoned with.

Contains seven years worth of Dilbert comics, organized around familiar workday themes, that include fans'' favorite characters: Catbert, Dogbert, coworker Wally, the Boss, and others who will entertain office neophytes and hardened survivors alike. Original.

The twenty-seventh collection of comics about the work-place antics of Dilbert and his co-workers, with special emphasis on Wally, whose poor performance and lack of respect usually gets him a raise rather than punishment.

Another collection of comics about the work-place antics of Dilbert and his co-workers.

Dilbert and the gang are back for this 26th collection, another take-off of office life that will appeal to cubicle dwellers across the globe.

The twenty-fifth collection of comics about the work-place antics of Dilbert, his dog Dogbert, and their co-workers.

Jargon-spewing corporate zombies. The sociopath who checks voice mail on his speaker phone. The fascist information systems guy. The sadistic human resources director. The technophobic vice president. The power-mad executive assistant. The pursed-lip sycophant. The big stubborn dumb guy. They''re Dilbert''s coworkers, and chances are they''re yours, too. If you know them, work with them, or dialogue with them about leveraging synergies to maximize shareholder value, then you''ll recognize this comic strip as a day at the office, only funnier.

In God''s Debris, best-selling author and creator of Dilbert Scott Adams fashioned a thought-provoking exploration of life''s great mysteries (everything from quantum physics and God to psychic phenomena and dating) that quickly captured the attention and imaginations of readers everywhere. The intriguing story of a deliveryman who meets the world''s smartest person and learns the secret of reality is threaded with a variety of hypnosis techniques that Adams, a certified hypnotist, used to induce a feeling of euphoric enlightenment in readers to mirror the main character''s feelings as he discovers the true nature of the universe.Launched to coincide with the hardcover publication of its sequel, The Religion War (see opposite page), this first paperback edition of God''s Debris will soon make the leap to a broader audience. As Adams designed it, the book will "make your brain spin around inside your skull" and drive readers toward The Religion War as they seek to confirm or deny the dizzying impressions and chaotic memories of reading God''s Debris.The book provides one of the most compelling visions of reality ever experienced on the printed page. Along the way, readers will enjoy the Thought Experiment: Trying to discover what''s wrong with the sage''s explanation of reality. This is a book, as Adams says, to be shared and savored with smart friends.

With publication of The Religion War, millions of long-time fans of Scott Adams''s Dilbert cartoons and business best sellers will have to admit that the literary world is a better place with Adams on the loose spreading new ideas and philosophical conundrums. Unlike God''s Debris, principally a dialogue between its two main characters, The Religion War is set several decades in the future when the smartest man in the world steps between international leaders to see if he can prevent a catastrophic confrontation between Christianity and Islam that would destroy most of civilization. The parallels between where we are today and where we could be in the near future are clear.Adams says The Religion War targets "bright readers with short attention spans-everyone from lazy students to busy book clubs." The book may be a three-hour read, but it''s packed with concepts that will be discussed long after the last page is turned, including a list of "Questions to Ponder in the Shower" that will underline the story''s purpose of highlighting the most important-yet most ignored-questions in the world.

Why is Dilbert such a phenomenon? People see their own dreary, monotonous lives brought to comedic life in the ubiquitous strip. In the 23rd collection of Scott Adams¿ tremendously popular series, Don¿t Stand Where the Comet Is Assumed to Strike Oil, suppressed and repressed workers everywhere can follow the latest developments in the so-called careers of Dilbert, power-hungry Dogbert, Catbert, Ratbert, the pointy-haired boss, and other supporting¿but don¿t you dare call them supportive¿characters. Each ¿funny because it¿s true¿ scenario bears an uncanny, hysterical, sometimes uncomfortable similarity to cubicle-filled corporate America. But the United States clearly hasn¿t cornered the market when it comes to drone-filled offices: Dilbert appears in 65 countries in 25 languages and in 2,000 newspapers. The strip has 150 million fans worldwide.

Parasitic consultants, weaselly stockbrokers, masochistic coworkers and the ever-present, evil-plotting pointy-haired boss? Welcome to the seventh circle of hell, er, the 22nd collection of Scott Adams¿ stupendously popular comic strip, Dilbert! Words You Don¿t Want to Hear During Your Annual Performance Review updates loyal readers on the mind-numbing careers of Dilbert, Wally, Alice, the PHB himself, and an ever-expanding cast of walk-on ¿guest stars.¿ In this installment, a cash-sucking ¿consultick¿ burrows under the boss¿s skin, a not-so-grim reaper pops anti-depressants, and a lab accident turns Dilbert into a sheep¿a transformation which goes barely noticed by his beleaguered coworkers. All the while, Adams takes his patented over-the-top but right-on-the-money jabs at the inanity of the corporate world. Dilbert¿s fans are legion and loyal. They have purchased seven million cartoon collection books and counting. The Dilbert comic strip appears in 2,000 newspapers and in 65 countries in 19 languages.

A collection of cartoons that explore the world of work in the 1990s, featuring Dilbert, the harassed office employee, and his co-workers.

Dilbert, the eternally oppressed engineering peon, returns in his fourteenth collection, gathering the most popular and requested Dilbert strips of all time, all arranged by topics for easy access.

The cartoon story of a female engineer, Alice who has developed an aggressive attitude in order to survive in the male dominated Dilbert world. Her exploits include kicking a man into his hat, stuffing an intern into his shirt sleeve and slapping a man so hard he travelled back in time.

Dilbert and his co-workers continue to navigate a never-ending maze of mission-statement rhetoric, futile team-building exercises, and the torments of Dogbert.

Scott Adams has accomplished a rare feat. In his wildly successful cartoon strip, Dilbert, he has transformed the daily drudgery of the workplace into a fresh, comic commentary on life. Consider the cast: a devious and egomaniacal dog who fully intends to rule the world, a former lab rat so eager for acceptance that he''s willing to work as a temp, a cat that is an evil HR director—and those are just the animals in Dilbert''s world. Mix in the frustrated title character, his clueless pointy-haired boss, and an office full of insecure and dissatisfied white-collar workers and you get the hottest comic strip around. In I''m Not Anti-Business, I''m Anti-Idiot, Adams has truly found a way to relate the sometimes unbelievable craziness of the business world. Since Dilbert first gave a voice to discontented cubicle dwellers, the strip has consistently appeared at the top of comic page popularity polls. Today, the cartoon can be found stuck on office bulletin boards, personal computer monitors, and break-room refrigerators throughout the working world. This volume, I''m Not Anti-Business, I''m Anti-Idiot brings readers more of the bizarre fun. In it, they''ll marvel at the escapades of Antina the non-stereotypical woman, who takes apart the office coffee machine "just for fun." They''ll witness manager Ted, who just happens to have a beard growing from his forehead. And they''ll recoil from Camping Carl, the office''s nonstop self-storyteller, whom Dilbert manages to evade only by taking to his cubicle escape tunnel. No one captures modern office life like Adams, a former Pacific Bell employee. Dilbert evokes many laughs, tears, and "How did he know about our company?" comments from workers while at the same time appealing to supervisors who are certain they don''t personally commit these managerial faux pas. I''m Not Anti-Business, I''m Anti-Idiot is guaranteed to deliver much, much more of what fans love most about Dilbert.

Scott Adams provides an inside view of bosses, meetings, management fads and other workplace afflictions, through his cartoon character, Dilbert. Offering vital tips on survival, this collection shows that life is hard on the unforgiving corporate landscape.
