You can read an exerpt from that book here. 
http://www.ingenuitygap.com/home.html

I don't think its the same sort of book (but all I have read is
the book chapter exerpt on the site.)  This book appears to be 
'Wow, life is complicated, and we don't have the ingenuity to
deal with the increased complexity', whereas _Fumbling the Future_
is about 'We just spent a fortune and built a whole new future.
Too bad the only corporate management person who understood this
is dead, and we don't know how to talk to suits.'
