Lost: The Collapse of Morals in America

Lost: The Collapse of Morals in America is a mirror held up to a nation that traded meaning for marketing. Through thirteen lanes of reflection, author Brian B. Turner examines how morality quietly unraveled across parenting, media, politics, work, and even technology.

This is not a history book. It is a wake-up call written in rhythm and reason. From “Just Say No” to influencer culture, from faith in government to faith in algorithms, Lost traces how progress, profit, and performance replaced principles.

Turner’s poetic prose moves between past and present, from the silence of small towns to the noise of social media feeds. Each chapter reveals how the sacred became negotiable and the human became mechanical.

But this book is not about despair. It is about rediscovery. In its final pages, Lost reminds readers that morality does not disappear, it drifts. And it waits for those willing to listen again in the quiet.

For readers of cultural critique, creative nonfiction, and social reflection, Lost asks a simple question:
What still holds when everything is for sale?
