“1Q84. That is the name of the new world. In this world, there are no hills, there is no rain, never at all. What you see here doesn't exist in reality. What you see here is a fantasy.”
— Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:
This quote talks about a world that isn't real. It's a place made from imagination, where things are different from what you see in everyday life. For example, imagine a game world where everything is perfect and nothing bad ever happens, unlike the real world where you face problems like bad weather or challenges. In this fantasy world, the usual realities like hills and rain just don’t exist. The quote suggests that while this imaginary place might seem wonderful, it’s important to remember it’s not real. When you spend too much time in such fantasies, you might forget to appreciate or deal with real life as it is.
