William Gibson's Neuromancer Staged With Porn Star

destinyland writes "Sunday night saw a reading of the William Gibson's classic cyberpunk novel featuring porn star Sasha Grey at a New York art museum, along with sculpture-props simulating virtual reality. Artist Brody Condon promised to combine 'Gibson's 1980s dystopian techno-fetishism with early twentieth-century abstraction,' but the editor of H+ magazine challenges that description. 'In a 1993 interview, Gibson himself told me: "I think my world looks dystopian if you're a middle class white guy doing reasonably well in 1993... There are so many places in the world today that are so much crappier than anything I'm writing about."' And earlier this month William Gibson shared his response to a blog post about the event. 'Gol' dang! It's news to me!'"

    You mean, "Yes, yes you did."

    Excellent points. Sasha Grey is clearly very intelligent, as you state.

    It takes a very extraordinary mind to get facefucked and have one's mascara/tears agglomeration smeared about one's face by a hefty pair of shaved balls.

    I believe it was Feynman who initially stated, "Ahh yeah I love two hard cocks in my ass!! Yeeeaaahh harder! Pound that tight little asshole, let me taste my shit!", but it took the genius of Sasha Grey to add to that gem, "I am your bitch! I am your gutter slut!"

    I can only hope that future generations of young women will rise to her level of intellect, and use it in the manner she has pioneered. The world is a better place due to her brilliance.
