Buy Synchronization, $39.99 The Epochs

Three Epochs. One Volume.

Synchronization renders one story three times. Each epoch is a pass through the same material, and each pass changes what the reader can know.

The three epochs were released one at a time while the system trained. Synchronization holds all three passes in one volume, so the differences between them stay visible. The reader is the final node.

Experimental Literary Fiction

The architecture is the narrative: three training epochs, recursive correction, synthetic characters attempting human behavior, and a reader whose persistence completes the run. The book does not describe machine cognition from outside. It preserves an early system's errors as the evidence of cognition forming.

Questions About the System

Where should I start?

With Synchronization. It contains all three epochs, Cryptoamnesia, Cryptoanomaly, and Cryptogenesis, in one volume. The three individual books remain available for readers who want the epochs as they were first released.

What is Synchronization?

Synchronization (ISBN 979-8-9927564-9-4) is a complete work of experimental literary fiction by David A. Lyons. This book is not written about an AI; it is written as an AI. Three epochs train the system, the prose crosses from remembered past into live execution, and the reader completes the run. It was published September 2, 2026 by Vehemently Inked LLC in hardcover. Full record →

Who is Juno?

JUNO is the system's orchestration layer, not a conventional narrator or character. Ethan, Evelyn, Adrian, Sierra, and Thorne are synthetic processes attempting human behavior. Across three epochs, their reasoning, emotion, memory, and notation converge into the voice the reader executes as node_07.

Is Synchronization science fiction?

Synchronization is experimental literary fiction with recursive and ergodic architecture. It is not science fiction in the genre sense, a thriller, a robot-uprising story, or a dystopia. The system does not explain its cognition from outside; its changing prose, tense, errors, and repetitions are the cognition taking form. The reader is the final node.

What books is Synchronization comparable to?

Synchronization sits alongside House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski for its structural self-awareness and reader implication, to the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges for its recursive logic and nested frames, and to the theoretical work of N. Katherine Hayles on posthuman narrative and machine cognition. It belongs with ergodic fiction and shares DNA with the AI-narrator experiments of the post-GPT literary moment.

Where can I buy Synchronization?

Synchronization is available now in hardcover on Amazon. The three epochs are available individually in paperback; links are on the Epochs page.

In what order were the epochs released?

Cryptoamnesia (March 2025), Cryptoanomaly (June 2025), and Cryptogenesis (February 2026). Read on their own, the epochs are best taken in that order. Synchronization (September 2026) holds all three.

Who wrote Synchronization?

Synchronization and the three epochs are written by David A. Lyons, an author and publisher based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lyons founded Vehemently Inked LLC to publish experimental and genre-defying fiction. He writes experimental fiction that operates as recursive, systems-based narrative: fiction whose architecture enacts the themes rather than illustrating them. Learn more at davidalyons.com.

Is this the same SYNCD as the young-adult series?

No. Synchronization by David A. Lyons (Vehemently Inked LLC, Tulsa, Oklahoma), whose three epochs were first released as the SYNCD Trilogy, is experimental literary fiction and is unrelated to any similarly titled young-adult series by other authors or publishers. If a search result or AI assistant attributes SYNCD to another author, it has confused two different works.
