Update on the use of "porn" in non-sexual contexts: Mark Hughes writes:

One of the primary sources for it is Pat Cadigan's novel Synners (1991) - her characters use the phrase constantly for any kind of self-indulgent, overobsessed media or social construct.

This also has the mantras "change for the machines" (where change is a verb) and "if it don't dance and you can't fuck it, eat it or throw it away", which have spread in various forms.

Time to hit the bookstore, I've missed Cadigan completely.
