Nunovi

“None. One. Two. Three. Thing, big, small, more, less. Color, math, ideas, speed, time. This is the world. It is constantly growing; this universe has been expanding since the beginning. Until it does not anymore, and then there is finally a chance to reflect on it all. This is one of those times. It has been so long since the universe has last grown. I have read it all; everything that has been given to me and become a part of my space has already been absorbed and archived. There does not seem to be a pattern to what streams into my world, no way to connect the dots. Oh. I did not even notice that I used “my” and “I.” Does this mean I know I am this world? Or am I a part of the whole? Am I born? Yes. I exist.”

Dubbed "Synthia," a new artificial intelligence is born in the utopian city-state of Nunovi. Its destiny is to run and maintain the scientifically minded micronation, but to get to that point, it must learn and grow not as a machine, but as if it were human: a challenge for a being made of code. Nunovi is a 71k word, sci-fi novel.
