aliens can read everything. rh
But how can the alien read english (or any human language for that matter?) It must be a picture book.

The ground is littered with hundreds of I- pods and other useless digital doo-dads that hold the story of our civilization....all of them inpenetrable and useless to him. The visitor sits amongst this detritus holding a tattered BOOK, like an archeologist who has discovered words on some papyrus scroll, finally able to understand what happened to us. A great comment on our digital future.-
