DRIFT: How America Lost Coherence — And The Only Way Back
by Chris Ciappa
Most discussions about America’s decline focus on politics, personalities, elections, or outrage.
This book argues the problem runs much deeper.
America did not suddenly collapse.
It drifted.
Not all at once.
Not through one law, one election, or one movement.
But slowly, system by system, institution by institution, until the country gradually lost the ability to consistently correct itself.
In DRIFT, I examine how this process spread across education, media, law, governance, technology, and culture — and why many institutions still appear functional even while their underlying coherence continues deteriorating.
This is not a book about partisan politics.
It is a book about systems, consequence, coherence, drift, and correction.
