Interesting facts and trivia about Kid A. By Songfacts®.

According to Thom Yorke, "Kid A" is his vision of the first cloned baby. The song is about technology - both the possibilities and dangers. Much of the Kid A album, questions what it means to be a human being in the context in which every relationship is mediated by technology and technical rationality. The song could be called "The Robot Child's Lament."

Sleeve artist Stanley Donwood told NME that Kid A's album artwork was inspired by a photo of the war in Kosovo, which ended in 1999. He added: "The overarching idea of the mountains was that they were these landscapes of power, the idea of tower blocks and pyramids."
