By pulling Kid A from its canonical status and grounding the album in various contexts; Marvin Lin explains not only why Radiohead suddenly adopted a new songwriting methodology; but also how properties like "genre" and "authenticity" distracted us from understanding our reactions to it. From bovine growth hormones and neurological impulses to Dada poetry and bandwidth throttling; the book articulated the politics behind both Radioheads music and our listening experiences. But in a period of socio-political unrest; is listening to Kid A a waste of time? In and through the album; Lin seeks to answer this question by examining what Kid A does to us over time; what Kid A tells us about the future; and whether its possible (or even desirable) to use Kid A to transcend time altogether.
