Nanites, window blinds, and soda cans, I can believe. Molecules, I tend to doubt.
I think we will see larger network segments, but I think we will also see greater separation of networks into segments along various administrative and/or automatic aggregation boundaries. The virtual topologies you describe will likely also have related prefix consequences.
