Oh yes, and that's why I find the possibility fascinating. Somewhere in the belly of the Internet, there's a movement called "archaeo-futurism" which imagines a future of high-tech feudalism.
The vision I sketched out is a benign kind of archaeo-futurism: a bracing lifestyle or rural self-sufficiency combined with earning a living through twenty-first-century cryptocurrency.

"Walkaway" by Cory Doctorow - A Science Fiction Book Review.
Doctorow's take is essentially "urban," but he's tapped into the spirit I outlined.
