Porno is a 2002 novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh, the sequel to Trainspotting. The book follows the characters of Trainspotting ten years after the events of the earlier book, as their paths cross again, this time with the pornography business as the backdrop rather than heroin use (although numerous drugs, particularly cocaine, are mentioned throughout). A number of characters from Glue make an appearance as well. A film tie-in edition of the novel titled T2 Trainspotting was released in 2017 to coincide with the release of the film adaptation of the same name.
This novel picks up some ideas of the film adaptation of Trainspotting. One example is the fact that "Spud" has received his share of the drug money, which is shown in the film, but only alluded to in the book.
