具体描述
John Carreyrou is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter at The Wall Street Journal. For his extensive coverage of Theranos, Carreyrou was awarded the George Polk Award for Financial Reporting, the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism in the category of beat reporting, and the Barlett & Steele Silver Award for Investigative Business Journalism. Carreyrou lives in Brooklyn with his wife and three children.
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.

##写得很一般啊。。。
评分 评分 评分##话题很抓人眼球，但是作者的书写水平盛名之下其实难副，直到读到最后才感觉之所以能获得普利策奖更大的可能性是在于作者的勇气，他要面对的阻力是来自于政界高层人物，法律界和风投界大佬，这份视死如归的勇气是读完这本书最大的收获。至于故事的内容就是翻来覆去说那么几个点罢了。应了古话树倒猢狲散，墙倒众人推。 Theranos能走到那个高位和EH的个人魅力有多大关系，我认为不见得有必然联系，更有可能是因为Theranos兜售的概念是新颖的，各界大佬生怕错过机会，就像国内对于新兴概念的爆炒，最后都是投资人倒霉。好在Theranos没有成功，毕竟这是关乎性命的事情，作者如果能够更深入的探讨这种现象背后的诱因，这书就真升华了。为什么那么多猴精的风投会上当受骗，技术壁垒是一部分原因，更多的恐怕是贪婪吧。
评分##大家伙儿到底为什么会信Elizabeth Holmes? 当然有可能是就真的都对黑高领毛衣、baritone、针头恐惧症的好故事买账，但究其根本，我觉得，是种对假想奇迹的渴望。我们希望健康的事情会发生。Loved ones可以早点就医。将军怜爱他在阿富汗受苦的士兵。好几个投资人都有很良好的锻...
评分 评分 评分全书最唏嘘的一段就是女主把George Schultz这个近百岁的大神耍得团团转，不惜和自己亲孙子决裂甚至差点搭上亲孙子的前途，说什么也要力保她。所以大家对老年人陷入诈骗宽容点吧…真的比中邪还可怕…
