Prayer Fans

 

In 1977, Frederick Pohl wrote about "prayer fans" in his science fiction novel Gateway. The remains of an alien civilization were found and researchers found objects they called "prayer fans" everywhere and had no clue what purpose they served.

 

 

This is not what Frederick Pohl was writing about.

 

Frederick Pohl's prayer fans bore a closer resemblance to this compact disc.

 

To an alien culture or to people in the future, a compact disc would not be seen as a book.

 

 

Or a musical group.

 

 

 

To them it might be sports equipment.
