It could be. Check out the Global Village Construction Set - a project to open source designs for all the equipment you and thirty of your closest friends would need to check out of the rat race and live independently off-grid.

Love seeing this mentioned! I need to plan a trip to visit his farm given I live in the same state.

I'll follow your link, and also comment to say that what OP mentions sounds like the possible future of Doctorow's Makers.
