Warning: more stupidity ahead (also selfishness and horniness) Nostradamus, step aside. Scott Adams has turned futurist and gives us a much needed look into his skewed crystal ball. Here's a taste of what you'll learn in The Dibert Future: - in the future, life definitely won't be like Star Trek (or else we'd never leave the holodeck)
- there will be a huge market for technology products that help workers goof off and still get paid
- Internet capacity will increase indefinitely to keep up with the egos of the people using it
- it will be increasingly easy to find customers gullible enough to buy any product, no matter how worthless and stupid it is
- your competitors will remain just as clueless as your are
There's only one word to describe life in The Dibert Future: HILARIOUS.

"The Men of Fox Company: History and Recollections of Company F,
291st Infantry Regiment, Seventy-Fifth Infantry Division" describes
the actions of an infantry rifle company fighting in Europe during
World War II. Sometimes the Seventy-Fifth Division was called the
"Diaper Division" because the mean age of the men was just
twenty-two years versus the widely acknowledged average age of
twenty-six years for most other divisions. Fox Company was part of
Second Battalion, 291st Infantry Regiment of the Seventy-Fifth ID,
which were formally activated at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, on
April 15, 1943.
The division was thrown into combat soon after arriving in
Europe in December of 1944. Over the next ninety-four days, they
fought three campaigns in Europe. Fox Company first went into
combat during the Battle of the Bulge and then moved to southern
France to fight in the Colmar Pocket. Next, they went to Holland,
where they defended along the Maas River and later in Germany along
the Rhine River. Finally, Fox Company fought in the battle for the
Ruhr.
"The Men of Fox Company includes the recollections of several
men providing a view of the war not often seen-directly from the
soldiers, sergeants, and officers who survived the experience to
tell their personal stories.

The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage -- management. Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world in Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing Dilbert, he has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace. He has now taken the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this insanely insightful management book. Packed with 400 Dilbert cartoons, the book takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy, exploring its zeitgeist of ever-changing management fads, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, information traffic jams and more. With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes and skewers the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. Readers will be convinced that he must be spying on their bosses, The Dilbert Principle rings so true!
Cereal Killers: Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free A to Z is the most
diverse discussion of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease
currently available in a single volume. Cereal Killers explores a
wide range of sometimes contradictory perspectives on the various
disease processes incited by gluten. These include the many
illnesses and increased disease susceptibility to which gluten
contributes, as well as ailments associated with gluten-induced
illnesses. We also offer some speculations and hypotheses regarding
the means by which gluten wreaks havoc on genetically vulnerable
individuals, and important reasons why those affected should remain
on a 100% gluten-free diet.

"If you watched the entire election cycle and concluded that Trump
was nothing but a lucky clown, you missed one of the most important
perceptual shifts in the history of humankind. I'll fix that for
you in this book." Adams was one of the earliest public figures to
predict Trump's win, doing so a week after Nate Silver put Trump's
odds at 2 percent in his FiveThirtyEight.com blog. The mainstream
media regarded Trump as a novelty and a sideshow. But Adams
recognized in Trump a level of persuasion you only see once in a
generation. Trump triggered massive cognitive dissonance and
confirmation bias on both the left and the right. We're hardwired
to respond to emotion, not reason. We might listen to 10 percent of
a speech--a hand gesture here, a phrase there--and if the right
buttons are pushed, we decide we agree with the speaker and invent
reasons to justify that decision after the fact. The point isn't
whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Win Bigly goes
beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any
setting--the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs when he invested in
Apple decades ago. For instance: - If you need to convince people
that something is important, make a claim that's directionally
accurate but has a big exaggeration in it. Everyone will spend
endless hours talking about how wrong it is and will remember the
issue as high priority. - Stop wasting time on elaborate
presentation preparations. Inside, you'll learn which components of
your messaging matter, and where you can wing it. - Planting
simple, sticky ideas (such as "Crooked Hillary") is more powerful
than stating facts. Just find a phrase without previous baggage
that grabs your audience at an emotional level. Adams offers
nothing less than "access to the admin passwords to human beings."
This is a must read if you care about persuading others in any
field--or if you just want to resist the tactics of emotional
persuasion when they're used on you.
