When Dilbert first appeared in newspapers across the country in 1989, office workers looked around suspiciously. Was its creator, Scott Adams, a pen name for someone who worked amongst them? After all, the humor was just too eerily funny and familiar. Since then, Dilbert has become more than a cartoon character. He's become an office icon. In Another Day in Cubicle Paradise Dilbert and his cohorts, Dogbert, Catbert, Ratbert, and the pointy-haired boss, once again entertain with their cubicle humor. From bizarre personnel decisions to meetings gone bad, from schizoid secretaries to consultants from hell, Another Day in Cubicle Paradise provides a way to get all those darn comic strips off the breakroom bulletin board.

What would happen if humans discovered a way to create a whole new universe? Find out in this scientific thriller, Accidental Gods.
After years of research and countless failures, a team of scientists and physicists at the Institute for Computational Physics (ICP) has finally achieved the ultimate feat for humanity: developing a supercomputer powerful enough to recreate the Big Bang.
As galaxies, planets, moons, stars, and solar systems form before their eyes, the team find themselves grappling with the theological implications behind this new creation of life.
Soon they’re bombarded by attention from the media, religious fanatics, and rival scientists, despite ICP’s attempt at keeping the new development under wraps.

Ultimately, readers are swept along in this thrilling high-tech adventure into a simulated universe where a primitive society is just beginning to emerge—complete with language, buildings, and human sacrifice in an attempt to earn the goodwill of those who rule over their world…the ICP team.
