Man vs. Technology

I know there have been tons of books and movies about the concept of man vs. technology. But what about the other side of the coin? What about struggling with disconnecting from everything that enhances and connects our lives. What about the call of the wild vs. the convenience of technology? Instead of technology imprisoning or enslaving or killing humans, what about the desire to return to the earth? Could a story succeed in establishing a balance between nature and tech? Is there a way to show one man's struggle between wanting to live carefree, off the grid, in the woods and to stay connected, up to date, and always plugged in to something?
