Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

Something landed in six places on earth and left again. It did not communicate, did not conquer, and apparently did not notice anyone was here. What remains are the Zones — full of objects that break physics, and traps that kill anyone who walks into them.

Redrick Schuhart is a stalker who goes into the Zone illegally to bring things out. The title comes from a scientist's explanation: this was a picnic by the roadside, and we are the animals in the ditch investigating the litter. It is the coldest and most convincing first-contact story ever written.

The novel behind Tarkovsky's Stalker and the video game series. A masterpiece of Soviet science fiction.
