Abstract
We address the issues of public discourse, alienation, destructiveness, creativity and morality, considered in the context of the opportunities and limitations that information technology brings about. We put forward ten theses which can be conceived of as the co-ordinates of a referential system that should allow us to speak more precisely about the virtues and vices of the information age.
