Description

Deep in the Zone, reachable only by passing through some if its most hazardous areas, there is an alien artifact. It's a sphere, about ten feet in diametre, guarded by an invisible force field called the meat grinder. It is said to grant anyone who touches it their heart's desire. Unfortunately, this device kills fifty percent of the stalkers who approach it. That's why the experienced stalkers always elect to go in pairs or even threes. To prepare yourself to watch the film you should read this book: www.cca.org/cm/picnic.pdf .

For #Unum-Veritas members, this link is to a PDF. file in which you can read 'Roadside Picnic' by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky. It's the Russian SF novel from which Andrei Tarkovsky made the film 'Stalker' . The whole film WAS available on Youtube, courtesy of Mosfilm, but was taken down on April 29th. For now here a is an extract that still 'works' www.youtube.com/watch?v=usB180… the 'tunnel' scene, Tarkovski's interpretation of the approach to the 'meat mincer'!  [All my previous links got taken down!]
