Looking for a book that could have Radiohead’s OK Computer as its soundtrack. Thoughts? (Pic unrelated)

Do you know what a soundtrack is? It is music that is written to accompany a moving video image, not text. Why don't books have soundtracks? because to listen to music while reading would be a disservice to both literature and music

No book would ever have a Radiohead soundtrack

I think what OP is trying to say is that he is looking for a book that is thematically similar to OK Computer i.e. feelings of alienation, estrangement, fear, loneliness, a pig in a cage on antibiotics, etc.

I know that Thom Yorke was reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle when he was writing OK Computer (or maybe it was Kid A.) Either way, you can pick up hints of Murakami in Radiohead, and vice versa.

Literally, and I mean quite, literally, any book that exists in physical form. Simply, and I mean, simply, find your nearest book and play ok computer while you read-it's quite, and I mean, it really is, quite a simple solution to your "problem", so simple in fact that I'm questioning your cognitive function based on your need to put forward this simple query.
