That was incredibly poor New Yorker article, which can best summed up with this quote
"The idea of innovation is the idea of progress stripped of the aspirations of the Enlightenment, scrubbed clean of the horrors of the twentieth century, and relieved of its critics"
You take something simple like innovation (actual definition: a new and better or more efficient way of doing some existing thing), redefine it to your likes, then proceed to demolish it. Not surprisingly, this strawman army of disruptive innovators didn't offer much resistance.
