The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO and threats by her lawyers.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work.

A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.

读后感

I still remembered searching WIPO for Theranos's patents and FDA establishment registration back in 2015, and was disappointed to find that there's little evidence that this company was worth 9 billion. I've been since following the Theranos's downfall, whi...  

你有没有想过，如果在 2019 年，你可以心想事成，那你的人生巅峰最好可以混成什么样子？ 首先，应该有钱，有一辈子都花不完的钱——比方说身家 300 亿，公司市值 600 亿，够不够？ 其次，还要有颜，全国的大牌杂志封面，排着队让你上——他们说除了影视明星，你就是最美的那颗...  

本书最惊心动魄的部分应该是从第十九章“线报”（The Tip）开始的。作者作为《华尔街日报》的调查记者在这一章正式登场，联系线人拿料、多方求证、与Theranos手段肮脏的超级律师团周旋过招（看完以后觉得调查记者这个职业真是太帅气了！），最后终于在2015年10月15日的华尔街日...  

文/夏丽柠 在美国记者约翰·卡雷鲁的非虚构作品《坏血》中，希拉洛斯（Theranos）公司的女老板伊丽莎白·霍姆斯，在美国硅谷被称为“女版乔布斯”。她在自己并不算长的创业生涯里，缔造了一个近乎完美的医疗神话。虽然乔布斯说过，“创新决定了你是领袖还是跟随者。”霍姆斯明...

集硅谷startup反面案例之大成，终于出版了。一晚上啃一半，爱不释手

Bill Gates推荐Bad Blood一定是想让大家都来看看死对头David Boies的丑事。

Ian Gibbons的故事特别令人难受。

我有个疑问：这样的创业项目骗骗我这个纯文科生也就罢了，为什么一堆有理工科博士学位的大佬们都能被她骗得团团转？各种风投专家都跟僵尸一样地冲她砸钱？难道都归结于Holmes的人格魅力就完事了？
