I think I know where Radiohead got the title for their song Paranoid Android. In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the book I’m reading, there is a human-like robot. It was given a personality by its manufacturer. The personality is a new feature and has yet to be perfected, so the robot does not know how to control its emotions. It is, in a sense, paranoid. The characters in the book ask whether or not they have to take the robot with them to a nearby planet. Specifically, the exchange is as follows:

“Are we taking this robot with us?”
“Oh, the Paranoid Android…Yeah, we’ll take him.”
