I am absolutely obsessed with this book and with "Stalker." The concept that humanity is no more consequential to reality than trash at the side of a road will haunt me forever. I love the beautiful nihilism of the book and movie. And the movie has some of the most gorgeous cinematography I've ever seen. It is so slow, so plodding, so deliberate. It's like a 3 hour meditation.

If I remember correctly the comparaison in the book, the thrash represents the artefacts. The humanity are the ants crawling all over the thrash.
