Yes, I would especially like to discuss the articles by Tom Wolfe and
George Gilder. He and Wolfe attack materialism in general, and Richard
Dawkins in particular. Gilder argues that real technological progress
requires belief in absolute truth and objective morality (which he also
links to belief in God).
There is also Bill Frezza's essay about the possibility of creating a
tax-free economy in cyberspace.
