Did OK Computer predict the future? And why is it important to study this album 25 years on?

Craig finds out from from his special guests, the author Sarah Hall and English Professor Kevin Dettmar.

Sarah Hall is the host of a brand new ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 documentary called 'We're All Living in OK Computer Now...' which examines the album's prophetic, predictive qualities.

Professor Kevin Dettmar has been commissioned to write a Radiohead anniversary article for The New Yorker following time spent lecturing on the band at Pomona College, California.
