The title 1Q84 substitutes 'Q' (for 'Question') for '9', signifying an altered reality and directly referencing Orwell's 1984.
1Q84 features oppressive systems (Big Brother vs. the mysterious cult Sakigake) and protagonists questioning reality.
Murakami's 1Q84 blends magical realism with critiques of Japanese societal pressures, cults (like Aum Shinrikyo), and fragmented identities. 1Q84 also adds romance, parallel worlds, and philosophical depth.
