Thinking of giving up the internet to live a traditional style and find a trad wife. Are there any books that deal with the themes of escaping technology/modern western lifestyle?

The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of the society than by its laws or its form of government. Most of the Indian nations of New England were monarchies, and many of the cities of the Italian Renaissance were controlled by dictators. But in reading about these societies one gets the impression that they allowed far more personal freedom than our society does.
In part this was because they lacked efficient mechanisms for enforcing the ruler’s will: There were no modern, well-organised police forces, no rapid long-distance communications, no surveillance cameras, no dossiers of information about the lives of average citizens. Hence it was relatively easy to evade control.
-Theodore J. Kaczynski

It's not like these people are any better toward nature. The Amish operate puppy mills to sell dogs to urbanite thots looking for a fashion statement. No matter where you go in the Western world you'll be fully integrated in the system. If you want real freedom you gotta go to a 3rd world shithole with no healthcare, none of the security, and even then you'll have to be part of sonething where the Western world encroached in some way. As soon as you'll need money, what will you do? I've got a shit body and by nature's design I should be dead, so I don't have the option, I need to suffer here until I decide to blow my brains out, but if you're able bodied and you really want to escape you should go to India or somewhere in bumfuck SEA
