Summary

“Injection” is a science fiction mystery about technology, folklore, and unintended consequences. The story follows a group of five eccentric specialists—scientists, hackers, and experts in myth—who once collaborated on a project to accelerate human innovation. Their experiment created the Injection, a sentient artificial intelligence infused with magic and culture. It quickly became uncontrollable, bleeding into reality in unpredictable and often terrifying ways. Now, years later, the group is forced to confront their creation as it manipulates the modern world. Each member deals with guilt differently: some attempt to contain it, others exploit it, and some simply try to survive. The Injection manifests as strange phenomena—distorted folklore, twisted technologies, and dangerous new life forms. The series blends sharp science fiction with mythological horror, presenting a narrative that is equal parts espionage thriller and supernatural fable. Themes of hubris, responsibility, and the blurred line between science and magic dominate. It’s cerebral and unsettling, filled with dark humor and moments of striking surrealism.
