In the Star Trek universe, Alixus (Played by Gail Strickland) was a Human who believed that humanity had lost its way to technology, so she stranded herself and a colony ship on a planet where she had set up a duonetic field, so no technological equipment would function. She was the mother of Vinod. (DS9: "Paradise")
At first Alixus lead her fellow cast-aways to believe that the dampening field was a natural feature of the planet. However, when several Starfleet officers, including Benjamin Sisko and Miles O'Brien were forced to land one the planet they discovered her deception and revealed it to the rest of her community.
The community debated the merits of de-activating the duonetic field but ultimately decided to leave it active and continued to pursue their non-technological lifestyle.
In many ways the lifesytle sought by Alixus followed in the footsteps of some 22nd Century philosophies such as the Neo-transcendentalist movements that lead some groups, including the Bringloidi to establish non-technology based colonies.
