The Evolution and Features of Cybercrime Fiction

Abstract

The essay aims to look at the development of cybercrime in today’s age of
digitisation and how it has impacted the nature of crime. As a relatively new
addition to the genre of crime fiction, cybercrime fiction addresses major issues
about the changing nature of methodology of crime detection, and how that
further develops the roles of the criminal as well as the detective. This essay
aims to bring the fore the budding concerns of this new genre and how these
concerns pave way for a nuanced understanding of the blurring distinctions in
today’s age between one’s actual and virtual presence.
