Abstract:

Digital Globalization has been the maxim of the late 20th and early 21st century. It has made the world smaller and closer. The changing character of the present era stems from the integration of biology and technology, thus making the world a global village. Access to the world’s literature is no longer a distant dream. New cultural narratives, along with society, are being discovered and transformed with the emergence of new technologies. The study aims to establish how detective fiction, although criticized and categorized as popular fiction has triumphed over other genres of literature as being the most read genre of literature in the world, and walking hand in hand with changing times has survived its importance and created new avenues for readers in this techno- crazed world. The paper attempts to map the changing gamut in the narratives of detective fiction as it is undergoing a momentous change with the advent of globalization which brought with it technological revolution in doing so, the paper aims to study how the changing spectrum in the fields of technology, digitalisation, and globalisation influences not only the subject matter of contemporary crime narratives but also the genesis, allocation, and consumption of crime fiction in the world at large. It also showcases how detectives, as well as criminals, make use of digital technologies in crime fiction. Digitalisation, be it remakes, social media adaptations of crime novels, podcasts, fan fiction or transmedia narratives, aids in space for self-reflection for society.
