There's a few of these books online by different authors. Or could it be the same person? Hmmmm..

Yes, you can absolutely disappear, just depends on what type of hermit lifestyle you intend on living. I'd advise you to move to a 3rd World Country, that speaks English or at least a version of English.

Be a hermit in Thailand, shouldn't be too hard.
- Thailand has a rather strict visa system.shaft
- I was thinking more along the lines of Argentina or South Africa or Australia in the middle of nowhere.popfodders

Best watch Discovery channel before doing this... and hope you don't mind drinking your own piss.

If you are only trying to escape debt, I'm pretty sure you can just leave and go live somewhere else, provided you can get a visa, find a job, etc.
Student loans, etc, don't cross borders. You'll still be a U.S. citizen and stuck paying taxes, but there will no way for anyone to nail you for any private obligations, assuming you never go back.
If you are fleeing from the law, you'd have to pick one of the countries with no extradition to the U.S., mostly Third World or places like Russia and China. Not sure if they will let you in though.
Alternately, you could just be a bum and go live in the woods in Canada like that guy in the movie.

again, not disappering "the same way" you've asked, but... interesting.

How about you man up and take care of your obligations instead?

best guess,
leave work,
pretend amnesia,
get interned in a mental hospital,
stay there for years,
new identity,
all for free,

People need you to repay them. Otherwise they go hungry,

What about your family?

I was more curious than anything. I'm sure we all have escapist thoughts from time to time. I'm not seriously considering it, just wondering if it's viable these days.
Anyway, carry on...

I like Georges idea. Go on vacation to a country you want to live in. Throw away all your possessions and ID. Then just let the cops pick you up for living on the street. Pretend you got amnesia, live in a mental institution for a couple years. Then, you miraculously recover and integrate into society.

Could draw too much attention... first thing they're gonna do is check missing-persons list, etc.
