Underground: the Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami

An odd and strangely compelling book investigating the effects of the sarin gas attacks on the Toyko underground rail system on contemporary Japanese society. An incredible series of accounts of an incredible day in Japanese history, as told to Murakami by some of the victims, their families and members of the Aum cult who were behind the attacks. Scary and deeply moving stuff.
