Certainly Internet Literature is correct, but I am looking for something which reads a bit more "futuristic." Cyber-lit or cyber-literature seems to fit the bill. Thanks to everyone!

internet literature


Explanation:
Simply literature available on the internet. I've also seen it called hypertext literature and even hypertext fiction, but that is less commonly used.

The first link below is one of the many hits for internet literature on the mighty Google.

The second link calls it "hypertext literature."
