"Garbage Garbage", written by Abdullah Esmaili, is the story of a garbage collector who collects recycled garbage with a bag on his back. In order to forget his hard life, he gives wings to his thoughts. It criticizes human knowledge, art and ethics in society. He assumes the role of a saint and prophet in the modern world and warns man about the future that awaits him.

In a part of the book we read:
I have found the clearest thoughts among trash cans, streams of water, or while patrolling the countryside, amidst all this pollution. Thoughts that few have achieved before. No one is willing to search for something of value among dirty and smelly garbage. Just as these wastes are crushed and pulped in recycling machines and used to make new things, old and old thoughts are also milled in my mind and new thoughts are born from them. My brain has turned into a huge recycling machine that crushes and kneads every old thought with powerful blades and then creates new thoughts from those particles.
