Not sure what you are talking about with regards to no discernible movement replacing postmodernism - both New Sincerity and New Narrative authors and works have gained critical prominence as well as wider readership. Ben Lerner, whose works combine memoir, poetry, and fiction, was just awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Knausgard's memoir cum novel "My Struggle" is one of the biggest literary releases of the year. From this, we can see that whereas postmodernism was concerned with the massive scope of societal and technological apparatuses which formulated our doxa (see: JR, Gravity's Rainbow, White Noise etc), these movements have instead shifted their lens to the internal scope of the individual in face of a mind-boggling hyperconnected and networked world. How we come to construct a 'self' in this environment and how that self is perpetuated have become increasingly popular themes. Poetry, interestingly enough, is actually at the forefront of incorporating technological themes into its practice. Scores of poets use autogenerated content or appropriate text from online sources or otherwise involve technology in their works. Furthermore, it is not as though SV is some uncharted territory ignored by the literati. Plenty of contemporary fiction authors have addressed SV and its "tropes and heroes" - Dave Eggers wrote "The Circle" and Pynchon himself dressed down the dotcom boom in "Bleeding Edge", and those are just two of the highest-profile examples. But I think the dearth of your SV literary movement is connected with the notion of your last paragraph. A literary movement borne out of SV culture to supplement these "classics" would probably be much like the SV blogosphere and tweet culture is today: a hollow echo-chamber filled with self-aggrandizing boasts, brags, and takedowns occurring within a delusional bubble where the ultimate focus is profit. There's a reason the work in the article is pseudonymous. Great literature and the profit-motive of SV are antithetical. Most of the "heroes" in Silicon Valley don't have the self-awareness to see how inane the business model of their unicorn is, let alone the perspective needed to write a truly great and meaningful work of literature. Let's be real: in thirty years we will be confronting the ugly face of the adverse effects emanating from this 'movement' - massive income inequality, gross materialism and greed, the privileging of technological progress over human integrity, and endless surveillance (whether conducted by gov't entities or private companies - pretty sure now that the metrics / data genie is out of the bottle it won't be going back in). So I doubt a literary movement will come from SV internally. Instead, I believe that the great works read by future audiences will be written by outsiders to address the fallout from SV's "tropes and heroes".
