The 2000s witnessed a dynamic evolution in literature, reflecting the complexities of a rapidly changing world. Authors embraced diverse narratives, exploring themes of identity, globalisation, and technology’s impact on society. The rise of digital publishing and social media revolutionised the way stories were shared and consumed, democratising access to literature. Genres such as dystopian fiction gained prominence, reflecting contemporary anxieties. Notable works like J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series and Khaled Hosseini’s “The Kite Runner” captivated global audiences, while authors like Zadie Smith and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie redefined literary boundaries. Overall, the 2000s marked a vibrant era of innovation and cultural reflection in literature.
