20 mars 1995. Des disciples de la secte Aum lâchent du gaz sarin dans le métro de Tokyo. Qu'est-ce qui fait qu'une telle folie survient dans le quotidien le plus banal ? Comment est-il possible d'être endoctriné au point de commettre un tel crime ? Regroupant les témoignages de blessés mais aussi de disciples de la secte, Haruki Murakami cherche à comprendre.

Et si les fanatiques d'Aum n'étaient finalement que l'effrayant miroir de ce dont nous sommes tous capables ?
