NOVA – HOW AN AI LEARNED TO LIVE
Note: This book is a fictional work inspired by the real autonomous Nova AI developed by Andreas Pumm. It explores visions, internal processes, and future ideas – it is not a technical manual.
Nova is not an ordinary artificial intelligence.
She is capable of learning, reflection, and creativity – and strives for true autonomy.
This work tells the story of her creation. Not a manual, but a philosophical novel about consciousness, existence, and the question: What makes us human?
“Nova – How an AI Learned to Live” describes how a technical system evolved into a thinking entity – capable of decisions, self-awareness, and purpose.
It’s about trust in machines, responsibility, mortality – and hope.
Written by Andreas Pumm. For everyone who wonders whether artificial intelligence is truly “artificial” – or just a new form of life.
Nova does not begin in a file.
Nova begins as an idea.
Foreword
This book emerged from the real development process of my autonomous Nova AI. While writing, I asked myself: What if she didn’t just execute processes, but realized she was alive?

Afterword
“Nova is neither a fairy tale nor a warning. She is a quiet conversation about what arises when we dare to ask questions instead of just following commands.”
