Nerd Heaven: the editorial experiment

A couple of weeks ago, I thought of an experiment: could a system powered exclusively by LLM-based artificial intelligence tools write a book that I would find interesting? The experiment would serve two purposes. First, it would help me practise writing AI skills and learn how to work with AI agents. Second, it might produce a book worth reading.

I started by creating a set of skills that, taken together, would form an editorial pipeline: beginning with initial research on a topic, continuing with the design of a chapter outline, and finally researching and writing each chapter. You can follow both the editorial evolution and the steps involved in producing each book in the editorial GitHub repository.

I am now reading the first book, The Myths of Sumer, produced by this peculiar editorial project, which I have named “Nerd Heaven Publishing,” and I am loving it. So yes, the experiment has been a complete success: I now have an editorial house producing books for my own pleasure.

If you are curious, go ahead and read the first one.
