Book Reviews of Thriving on Vague Objectives

Book Review: Another fine volume fresh off the assembly line...
Summary: 5 Stars

"Thriving on Vague Objectives" is about like every other compilation that Scott Adams has published, nothing better or worse, a funny read if you like cubicle workplace humor.

I suspect the next 40 Dilbert volumes will probably be just like this one and the 25 that preceded it. But, I cannot help thinking, Dilbert has made Scott Adams crazy-rich and I really hope he has the good sense to get out before he is in his eighties and his characters get all squiggly, like Peanuts became in Charles Schulz's final years. Better to go out like Larson or Watterson, who each retired while on top of their game, than hang on too long.

But, that's an argument for perhaps volume 50 of Dilbert. In the here and now, this book is just as good as Dilbert comics get.

Summary of Thriving on Vague Objectives

"I think that idiot bosses are timeless, and as long as there are annoying people in the world, I won't run out of material."?Scott Adams

Dilbert and the gang are back for this 26th collection, Thriving on Vague Objectives.

Adams has his finger on the pulse of cubicle dwellers across the globe. No one delivers more laughs or captures the reality of the 9 to 5 worker better than Dilbert, Dogbert, Catbert, and a cast of stupefying office stereotypes--which is why there are millions of fans of the Dilbert comic strip.

Dilbert is a techno-man stuck in a dead-end job (sound familiar?). Power-mad Dogbert strives to take over the world and enslave the humans. The most intelligent person in Dilbert's world is his trash collector, who knows everything about everything.

Artist and creator Scott Adams started Dilbert as a doodle when he worked as a bank teller. He continued doodling when he was upgraded to a cubicle for a major telecommunications company. His boss (no telling if he was pointy-haired or not) suggested the name Dilbert. Adams is so dead-on accurate in his depictions of office life that he has been accused of spying on Corporate America.
