Radiohead and Philosophy: Fitter Happier More Deductive by

3.0


You know the feeling you get when reading a book, and thinking the whole time: "I am definitely going to read that again?" - That's exactly how I felt while reading this.
Let me say that the only reason I purchased this book was that I am a huge fan of Radiohead, and I had a bit of an interest in reading accessible philosophy essays. However, what I got from it is much more; I grew interest in topics I never knew existed or even cared about.
Radiohead and Philosophy was not only about philosophy and some band, it was about politics, economics, technology, society, music, and a lot more. It was about life, and death. It certainly opened up new doors for me, and I learned so much from it already. And as Yorke sings in Last Flowers: "It's too much. Too bright. Too powerful."
I really feel sad that I didn't keep track of the amazing things that kept me up for days, but as Byron Hawk said: "Radiohead and Philosophy is not something you analyze, but something you experience, like sitting back and listening to Radiohead."
