About this deal
The album’s lyrical themes and composition have it hailed as way ahead of its time, predictive of society’s obsession with technology, and the isolation and paranoia that comes with it. Yorke, however, explained that it stemmed mostly from his personal experiences travelling non-stop in a touring band. Greene, Andy (16 June 2017). "Radiohead's 'OK Computer': An Oral History".

But I was using the terminology of technology to express it. Everything I was writing was actually a way of trying to reconnect with other human beings when you’re always in transit. That’s what I had to write about because that’s what was going on, which in itself instilled a kind of loneliness and disconnection. a b Hull, Tom (15 April 2007). "April 2007 Notebook".
