It is like an alternate interpretation of the original concept, but written by someone else under supervision of the original creator Mitsuo Iso. (Incidentally that someone else, Yuko Miyamura - not Asuka's seiyuu, despite exactly the same name - co-wrote episode 7 or 8 or something of the anime). The anime was most certainly not based on the novel. The anime, novel and short-lived crappy manga were based off Iso's original proposal. A recent artbook features it.
