As with so much in life, it's best to read the manual first. It can get a little dry in places though, like any instruction manual, but I enjoyed all of it because I'm the sort of person who likes normal manuals, lol

Last time I looked it still did a weird mix of American and European Spanish, too

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

I dunno, I think maybe some things should just be left alone

Oh fab, I'll keep an eye out for it. It's one of my favorite books :-)

Did they get different people to record each story?

The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes is a detailed fictional instruction manual. It's sequel is World War Z which is closer to a normal book, but still has an odd structure of creating a world through interviews ... and the The Zombie Survival Guide book exists within it.

If individuals changed, corporations would be forced to change (or would die) since they would no longer be profitable. It needs to be both at the same time.

That doesn't negate the positive moral implication of making a pleasant comfortable life while consuming less.

Business as usual for individuals means business as usual for corporations.

OK, I'll go all-in on this:

2000 AD Comics' Nexus, The computer game.

Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.

Both are needed, corporations must be held account able and individuals need to make changes to how they live ... I don't believe either will actually happen, but that doesn't mean that the morality of choices over resource use suddenly get inverted just because of a bad case of nihilism.

Which is funny, it had the opposite effect on me.
