Self sufficient living

Is there something like self sufficient living? My definition of self sufficient would be living without any dependency for food, shelter and energy.

There are a few books on self sufficient living, not sure if they are purely theoritical or practical. Here are some books on the topic self sufficiency on Amaozn

I don't believe self sufficiency is a topic that attracts a lot of people's attention as most people are either happy being part of the corporate world or too afraid to lose the perceived security of the corporate world. May be the current recession will may people rethink? if that happens I would think it is a good thing and we would probably see a hue drop in personal consumption and a surge in wellness.

My dream has always been to live on a farm being semi self sufficient, that dream seems miles away at this time considering the runup in prices for farm land.
