Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche
Haruki Murakami
Why did the best and brightest young minds in Japan get sucked into the Aum doomsday cult?
One of Haruki Murakami's rare non-fiction works where he explores how the disillusionment with the work-centered society led young people from the top universities to cast off their families and join a dangerous cult. When people become unmoored from a purpose, the consequences can be tragic.
