I have been reading Dilbert comics for as far as I can remember, at least for 15 years, and read this book which was published in pre-cell phone, pre-internet days in 2002 eventually in 2024. So, in itself, the book is good, but it didn't offer anything new and relevant to modern offices. I will strongly recommend this if you are new to Dilbert's way of thinking, though.
Did not like the narrator of this audio book: he needed a dryer style, he was way too heavy with the sarcastic tone.
Very amusing. Classic dilbert
For everyone who's ever worked in a cubicle farm. If you haven't been there, you cannot truly appreciate it.

Scott Adams, Cartoonist Scott Adams was born and raised in Windham, New York in the Catskill Mountains. He received a B.A. in economics from Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a certified hypnotist. Adams worked in a bank for eight years and, while a bank teller, was robbed twice at show more gunpoint. He also worked for Pacific Bell for nine years and describes both jobs as "humiliating and low paying jobs." It was during this time, that Adams created the character Dilbert. He was entertaining himself during meetings by drawing insulting cartoons of his co-workers and bosses. In 1988, he mailed some sample comic strips featuring Dilbert to some major cartoon syndicates. He was offered a contract and Dilbert was launched in approximately fifty papers in 1989. Adams began working on Dilbert full time as well as speaking, writing, doing interviews, and designing artwork for licensed products. Dilbert is published in over 1,200 newspapers and has a hard cover business book called "The Dilbert Principle." (Bowker Author Biography) show less
