74. What Radiohead Knew - Tech Would Swallow Us Whole


Listen Later

Radiohead didn’t predict the future—they just paid attention.

This Episode is a deep dive into how OK Computer was never just an album, but a premonition. A warning. A status update we ignored.

Through a blend of storytelling, history, and eerie parallels, we explore how a 1997 album captured the creeping unease of a world being swallowed by technology—from corporate surveillance to algorithmic control to the silent loss of human agency.

Was OK Computer just an ambitious rock record? Or was it a glimpse into a future we were already hurtling toward?

Let’s find out together.

🎵 Featuring: The evolution of tech, capitalism’s mutation, AI’s rise, and the unseen forces that built the digital throne.
