具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##一個令人抑鬱的故事。本書最大的問題是它在前半部試圖以上帝視角來講述這個故事，但Carreyron並沒有足夠的信息來做這個上帝。因此前半部給我最大的感覺就是我産生的疑問全都得不到解答，在Carreyron開始用第一人稱講述這個故事之後就好瞭很多（我懷疑前半部是不是為瞭增加書的厚度，編輯要求他後來加上的）。Carreyron把Theranos多年成功的最大原因歸結於Holmes的個人魅力。我不買這個帳。這也是我最大的疑問。Carreyron沒能給我一個迴答，很可惜也沒辦法知道更多。在我粗淺的理解中，Holmes曇花一現的“成功”充分展示瞭所謂elitists，或者說“上層階級”的盲從與愚蠢。恐怕也正是這種愚蠢和其産生的嚴重後果纔造成瞭今天世界的割裂和populism explosion。三星半。
