Basically you are saying that we could come to a point where certain technologies are too big to fail. If the modern world loose internet, it'd be a huge disaster. Economies would collapse, chaos will reign etc. AI could make things even bigger when they become more and more important in our lives.
I guess true freedom is in simple elegance. Maybe if humans push themselves spiritually, they might even evolve psychic abilities to get rid of the reliance on tech. Actually Gundam touched this concept in New-Types where space age push certain people to develop sort of psychic abilities to stay connected and be more intuitive and perceptive.
