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.

Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don't translate well between variants of English ... I hardly ever see "station wagons" (estate cars?) here, whereas there's lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

Well, anything that has the name Ducati attached is automatically priced to put off the plebs

Fantastic, the closest one can get to a modern TY ... I've got a cousin of it, a Sherco 250, though I guess both were made before the companies merged.

Did you not get the light kit with the bike? Having a trials bike be road legal is handy here

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.

Ah, I get you ... yes that's a fair point. In Europe we don't have so many SUVs

It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

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.
