Dilbert and the gang are back for this 26th collection, another take-off of office life that will appeal to cubicle dwellers across the globe.

"Dilbert has managed to keep up with technology like iPads and Twitter over the years, as well as advanced systems like the Disaster Preparedness Plan that has its followers eating the crumbs from their keyboards. It doesn''t get any more sophisticated than that. Wally and Alice continue to develop their charismatic ignorance and passivity as they watch Dilbert get abducted by the government for stealing information and contemplate whose side they''re on (hint: apathy wins)."--Front jacket flap.

Jargon-spewing corporate zombies. The sociopath who checks voice mail on his speaker phone. The fascist information systems guy. The sadistic human resources director.

If you know them, work with them, or dialogue with them about leveraging synergies to maximize shareholder value, then you''ll recognize this comic strip as a day at the office, only funnier.

Promising new coffee warmer/phone charger technologies abound. And the circle of blame goes ever onward.

Everyone knows Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, as the king of workplace humor. His insights into the crazy world of business have long been on display in his hugely popular comic strip and bestselling books like The Dilbert Principle.

Adams ventures into uncharted territory in this collection of more than 150 short pieces on everything from lunar real estate to serial killers, not to mention politics, religion, dating, underwear, alien life, and the menace of car singing. He isn''t afraid to confront the most pressing questions of our day, such as the pros and cons of toothpaste smuggling, why kangaroos don''t drive cars, and whether Jesus would approve of your second iPod.

Our devices might be more sophisticated, our software and apps might be more plentiful, but when it gets down to interactions between the worker bees and the clueless in-controls, discontent and sarcasm rule, as only Dilbert can proclaim.
