Nothing To See

Victoria University Press Paperback, 384pp. It’s 1994. Peggy and Greta are learning how to live sober. They go to meetings and they ring their support person, Diane. They have just enough money for one Tom Yum between them, but mostly they eat carrot sandwiches. They volunteer at the Salvation Army shop, and sometimes they sleep with men for money. They live with Heidi and Dell, who are also like them. It’s 2006. Peggy and Greta have two jobs: a job at a call centre, and a job as a moderator for a website. They’re teaching themselves how to code. Heidi and Dell don’t live together anymore, and Dell keeps getting into trouble. One day, Peggy and Greta turn around and there’s only one of them. It’s 2018. Margaret lives next door to Heidi and her family. She has a job writing code that analyses data for a political organisation, and she’s good at it. Every day she checks an obsolete cellphone she found under her bed, waiting for messages. She struggles to stay sober. Then, one day, there are two of them again, both trying to figure out where they have come from. Nothing to See is a compelling, brilliantly original novel about life in the era of surveillance capitalism, when society prefers not to see those who are different, and the line between reality and simulation feels dissolvingly thin. (ISBN: 9781776563159). Mint.

All the Deadly Beloved

Ballantine 1995 Paperback, 226pp. SOMEONE'S BEEN NURSING A MURDEROUS GRUDGE AGAINST THE TOWN'S FAVORITE R.N. Everybody swears that no one would ever lay a hand on Jesus Creek's angel of mercy, nurse Patrice Gentry. But the reality is there for all to see--Patrice's red T-bird in the nursing home parking lot with her dead body inside. Police Chief Reb Gassler knows that though the victim may have been an angel, Jesus Creek isn't heaven and the charming widower, Dr. Steve Gentry, hasn't sprouted wings. In fact, he's said to be sleeping with more women than seems possible for a doctor with a full-time practice. While Reb hunts for the truth, a killer lurks in the shadows--and Jesus Creek teeters on the ragged edge. 'Jesus Creek, Tennessee, is so vividly drawn that I feel as if I can take a stroll through town.Deborah Adams has created a series rich in provocative themes and artful plots.' --Joan Hess, (ISBN: 9780345392220).

Scott Adams

The Dilbert Principle

HarperBusiness 1997 Paperback, 352pp. The creator of Dilbert, the fastest–growing comic strip in the nation (syndicated in nearly 1000 newspapers), takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy. Lavishly illustrated with Dilbert strips, these hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, management fads, bewildering technological changes and so much more, will make anyone who has ever worked in an office laugh out loud in recognition. The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage ?anagement. Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato–shaped, abuse–absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the workplace. Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head–on in this lighthearted series of essays. Packed with more than 100 hilarious cartoons, these 25 chapters explore the zeitgeist of ever–changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three–hour meetings, the confusion of the information superhighway 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! Plastic coating on cover has warped slightly, otherwise in great shape. (ISBN: 9780887308581). Fair.

The Dilbert Future: Thriving on Stupidity in the 21st Century

Harper Business 1997 Hardcover, 258pp. WARNING: MORE STUPIDITY AHEAD If your personal crystal ball gets foggy, you’d better buy at least two copies of THE DILBERT FUTURE . and maybe a few extra copies for your friends. Just kidding. One copy will do just fine. In THE DILBERT FUTURE, Scott Adams turns futurist, offering a bold, compelling – and often hysterical – vision of future society. First, the good news: Human nature won’t change much; many, if not most of us, will continue to be guided by the immutable principles of stupidity, selfishness, and horniness – much as we are today, but with more advanced technology. But there’s more! Drawing on his keen grasp of human nature and social dynamics, Adams daringly predicts key developments in every part of the futurescape. For example, in THE DILBERT FUTURE, you’ll learn - in the future, life definitely won’t be like Star Trek - 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 - your clothes will be smarter than you In THE DILBERT FUTURE, you’ll learn about the two things that any company needs in order to bring bold new technology to market. You’ll discover that skilled professionals will flee their corporate jobs and become their own bosses in ever-increasing numbers. They’ll become entrepreneurs, consultants, contractors, prostitutes, and cartoonists. In THE DILBERT FUTURE, it will become increasingly obvious that your competitors are just as clueless as you are. In THE DILBERT FUTURE, all barriers to market entry will disappear and companies will be forced to form â€oeconfusopolies.â€� In THE DILBERT FUTURE, it will be easy to find customers who are gullible enough to buy any product, no matter how worthless and stupid it is. In sort, it’s time for Nostradamus to step aside. In THE DILBERT FUTURE, Scott Adams dons his soothsayer’s robes and turns his piercing eye (and trenchant wit) to subjects as diverse as technology, the workplace, elections, the battle of the sexes, drive-through pet car, and the possibility of intelligent (or stupid) life on other planets. THE DILBERT FUTURE is a mind-boggling blend of farce and fact that plays our social hot buttons like a piano, leaving the reader gasping in both wonder and hilarity.
