    i don't care if they do porn or not.doesnot matter to me as i am an adult.i donot watch porn movies but to each his own they say.
    i am glad though to see another porn star getting legit non-porn scifi work.
    and yes if you watch the pg version of the porn trek xxx movie it is pretty cool what they did.a fun parody of a fun show. #neuromancer

    I like to keep an open mind about these things. Being in porn should not be a barrier of entry for so-called "legitimate" acting. Also, Sasha Grey was pretty funny in this "PG porno" (NSFW for language and inuendo, but no nudity or sex): [www.spike.com] #neuromancer

    When I read, "How exactly does Case manage to last six hours?" my mind went to a naughty place.

    @CSX321: My preconcieved notions of the midwest are based on 42 years there. Plenty of nice, friendly, open minded people. A minority who are that way only until they learn that you are a little bit different from them.

    Maybe just the same as everywhere else, but in a big city with millions of people around, it's easier to blend in than in a town of 500 where you are the only one of your kind. #neuromancer

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: Fair enough. I grew up in one of those towns of 700, but I lived in a variety of places from St. Louis to South Carolina to Dallas over 43 years. We've ended up back in my wife's hometown of 14,000. I find that I'm more of a country boy at heart. I like having a couple of acres around me and watching the deer in the yard in the evenings. #neuromancer

    @siles.m: This is a pretty old post but I happened to be auditing new commenters and saw your interest in Consider Phlebas. Do you want a summary of the plot? Some folks hate spoilers, but here's a taste...

    The protagonist is the last of a race of shapechangers that has been working against The Culture, which is like Star Trek's Federation only way whacked out. It is controlled by powerful artificial intelligences called Minds. The Culture is at war with the Iridians, big three-legged bug guys, really tough and religious zealots too. One of these Minds has been lost in a space battle before it could be turned on and the race is on to find it.

    Banks is great for the jaw dropping set pieces and can be very funny to boot. You'll read about space-pirates, a cannibal cult, a cruise ship so big it could use the Titanic for a life raft, an artificial world like Niven's Ringworld or Halo, a game where players manipulate each others emotions and bet with the lives of volunteers, and so much much more.

    I really like this book. Banks wrote it when he was still fairly young and some people think it lacks the finesse that maturity gave his later books. I still say check it out!

    I hope this helps and welcome you to io9. Have fun.

    @disatess: The movie was better than the comic- there I said it.
    As great as Alan Moore can be, he is by no means infallible. Yes, the glorious League of Extraordinary Gentleman was butchered into a nauseating, gooey pulp, but V for Vendetta was an improvement over the sometimes aimless and kind of dull book.
    I'm excited to see more from the director that made V better than Alan Moore did. (never read this book, but I'm very curious now)
