Murakami is very clear about his intentions for the two parts of this book and how he went about the interviewing process, and there's a small section where he writes down his thoughts on Aum and the sarin attacks.

I will confess that I had not thought of the 1995 Tokyo subway gas attacks since the news stories were current. A religious cult called Aum was behind the attack, which involved releasing Sarin in various subway cars. This non-fiction book comprises two parts. The first part--which was once publi...
The first part is a collection of interviews bringing to life what happened in the Sarin Gas Attacks in Tokyo. You get a sense of the confusion as well as the moral dilemma faced by ordinary citizens and how emergency services were woefully unprepared for such an event. The last half was written lat...

Aum emerged in 1984 when previously s...
You know how Hakuri Murakami is wacky and zany and nutso? Well, not in Underground. He's a Serious Journalist. I was like a third grader in the last hour of the day; I could hardly keep my seat. But plug away I did, as Murakami interviewed victim after victim. And so on and so on. Good news: I'm fin...
Underground is a fascinating, insightful look at survivors' stories of the sarin gas attack on Tokyo's subway system in the mid-1990s. I was surprised at the passive attitude that many survivors and former cult members had toward the perpetrators in comparison with that of the survivors of the 9/11...
