The structure that De Rosney describes is not controlled but has in fact evolved out of the (sub)systems that we have created.  De Rosney does warn us that such a system requires guidance and boundaries to its growth, but I  find his solutions  to be somewhat aspirational.  Whilst I do not consider myself as a pessimist, I am fearful that such a system can more easily be used to control the population rather than liberate it.

If one thing has become clear in the history of technology it is that humanity strives to better itself.  In this time of instant gratification and power hungry superstates, the limits of the human body can already be extended… and if they can be, we can be sure that they will be.  Indeed the traditional concept of cyborgs can already be seen walking amongst us with all manor of prosthesis, from artificial limbs to implanted RFID chips.  This process has already begun and can only result in a deeper connection between human and machine.

As heavily implanted cyborgs living inside, and as a part of a system like De Rosnays macro organism, humanity risks losing itself and losing its way if we do not see the larger picture.  Through our bodily modifications we are giving up true control for the illusion of power.  Super strength is nothing when the system controls how you use it.  A modified consciousness is a sham when software rules sanction its use or determine what is an acceptable thought.  Such fears may appear as hysterical and overly dramatic but we are already writing the rules that determine how the subsystems of the macro organism will operate.  Unfortunately we are allowing commerce to dictate these rules rather than any legal body.  In the words of Lawrence Lessig, the code is the law.  If we are to become one with technology, we need to make sure that the code controlling our bodies is enlightened in its purpose and open sourced in its implantation.
