The Fluorescent Light Glistens Off Your Head

By Scott Adams

He captures our workplace frustrations with dead-on accuracy. He knows all about the technophobic vice president, the fascist information systems supervisor, and even the big, stubborn, dumb guy. How does he do it? How does he know? It's downright spooky. Scott Adams, get out of our heads

The notion that Dilbert creator Scott Adams has secretly bugged every office, cubicle, and conference room in America-a belief widely held by Dilbert fans-has been debunked by pointy-haired experts. This discovery leads to an even more sinister yet inescapable conclusion: that the lunacy you thought was unique to your workplace is spreading with a viral malignancy across the nation's business landscape.

Yes, the Corporate America brand of insanity has garnered a majority market share among white-collar managers and so-called leaders at companies large and small. Product features (let's not call them ""benefits"") of this insanity include inflated executive salaries, irrelevant performance objectives, insipid management fads, inscrutable e-mail, interminable meetings, and oppressive work environments.

Dilbert is the inadvertent poster child for the Corporate America brand. In The Fluorescent Light Glistens Off Your Head, he and his power-hungry dog, Dogbert, provide much-needed comic relief to working stiffs toiling in cubicles everywhere.

Customer Reviews

Another winner from Scott Adams

All Dilbert books are funny; some, by definition, are funnier than others. This is one of the best of the lot; there were an amazing number of "copy & pin up on the cubicle walls" strips in this book.

Can't get enough Dilbert!!!

I don't work in an office, but Dilbert applies just as well to those of us in the education field (change pointy-haired boss to pointy-haired principal and you get the picture) I have read Dilbert from the beginning, and I love it all. Dogbert will always be my favorite, and there is plenty of him in this book, along with Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Asok, Catbert...the whole gang. Great book!

The perfect way to end the day: Dilbert humor

This is one of the best Dilberts ever and I've read quite a few. Though it makes me skeptical about what my future boss may be like, it is still hilarious.

Classic Dilbert

A classic Dilbert book that reminds us to keep laughing at the world around us before we go insane.

Back in the Office

One of the things I really liked about this newest collection of Dilbert strips is that they really stay in the office. Gone are all of the side trips to Dilbert's home, Ratbert's antics, strange dates, and other non-office stories. While many such have been quite funny, this series goes back to what Dilbert is all about; the office. Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Asok, Tina and the rest of the staff have to deal with and survive the madness that is management, marketing, payroll and the executives. They do so with their usual style. Among the story arcs in this collection are: The Secret Society of Executive Secretaries The cursed and deadly binders The Non-Credible Guy The Prima Donna The New Hire Dilbert and stopped time Bribery The Ultra-Donut And many, many more in a collection of wit, humor, and an almost scary dose of reality that has you thinking Scott Adams works in your office.
