Stuff like that is mets fiction (nothing to do with electronics unless part of the story is detailing the events of a game). Books that rely on information not told in them and not written by the author are Metafiction. If I started a story about an Orc wedding and then half way through revealed its just nerds, that's Metafiction. If you read Grendel, it's metafiction as it relies on the story of beowulf to frame it.
