Title: Something seriously missing in the humour
Review: I enjoy Dilbert cartoons very much, but was quite disappointed with The Dilbert Future. Disagree with the other reviewers that this book is "laugh out loud" material. At times, I couldn't even bring myself to chuckle. I think the missing element here is the reader's empathy for the topic. Unlike other books such as The Dilbert Principle which deplicts familiar real life situations in an irreverent and hilarious manner that gets the reader nodding in agreement as he laughs, The Dilbert Future is basically a wild conjecture of the future. Without some degree of familiarity, readers won't be able relate to the gags. If you think sex with aliens, microchips embedded in your body, gadgets that enable you not to hear other people speak, is funny, then I suppose this book is for you.
