"Roadside Picnic" is NOT about aliens picnicing on Earth, it is
about the effects of The Zone on the inhabitants of the area. One
character, a scientist, likens the Zone to an alien picnic area.
What would the remains of a human picnic site look like to a
less advanced race than ours? It is a superb book, even though the
translation from Russian leaves something to be desired at times.
