There is definitely an irony to people who make a show of disconnecting, but do so on the largess of society. In this piece, the guy who gets free electricity and shelter from his friend&#x27;s shed. Or what I used to run into frequently, the rebel wanderer who eschews The System and couch surfs at the houses of his office worker friends.<p>I don&#x27;t mind people who want to disconnect, but when you&#x27;ve got a campstove, a phone, a laptop, photovoltaic panels, a car... you&#x27;re still enjoying the fruits of progress &amp; society with the rest of us.
