Some proves useful -eternal batteries that power automobiles-but the scientists never know it they are using the devices for their proper purpose or employing (as it were) Geiger counters as hand axes and electronic components as nose rings. Le Guin describes the problem: "Most of the mystifying debris is extremely dangerous. The pieces of trash fall generally into several broad categories: items that humans can figure out how to use in some helpful way items for which humans have been unable to find a use and items that, if touched or inhaled, cause death or mutilation or mutations. Unfortunately for the local citizens, the rubble comprises a variety of unfamiliar and dangerous objects-some visible, some tangible, and some imperceptible to the human eye.
