Update failed, and the computer won’t show data anymore - how do I fix this?

I attempted to upgrade to Sierra, because my App Store recommended it. With it stuck at 30 minutes remaining for almost ten hours, I finally turned off the computer by holding he power button. Now the screen only flashes a white file with a question mark on it. How do I use my computer?

Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
