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
##類似政治驚悚劇，寫得非常精彩，作者開始調查後的幾章節奏尤其好。主要聚焦於Theranos對內的混亂管理以及對外的謊言和bully。可惜作者沒有進一步采訪那些被忽悠的和沒有被忽悠的VC或者董事會成員，因此也難以真正理解創始人的魅力和缺陷在哪裏。本書遺留的問題挺多：初創公司如何平衡科研和商業化，生命科學的熱潮究竟有多可靠，如何界定商業秘密和NDA的範圍，違法行為本身是否可以受到商業機密法律的保護（個人感到在中國是不受保護的）。希望可以看到更多法律分析（但大概沒什麼人願意看）。總的想法是，盡職調查真的很重要！

評分全書最唏噓的一段就是女主把George Schultz這個近百歲的大神耍得團團轉，不惜和自己親孫子決裂甚至差點搭上親孫子的前途，說什麼也要力保她。所以大傢對老年人陷入詐騙寬容點吧…真的比中邪還可怕…
評分 評分##最精彩部分是默多剋剛投瞭Theranos 1.25億美元，卻不肯答應Holmes乾預自己控股的華盛頓郵報，認為編輯和調查記者會對事實負責，即便這會直接導緻這1億美元打水漂。
評分 評分##«壞血»是一部極為精彩的紀實小說！希拉洛斯作為著名的科技“獨角獸”，備受矽榖投資界的青睞和追捧，其創始人伊麗莎白·霍姆斯更被稱為“女版喬布斯”“美女CEO”而集萬韆寵愛於一身。然而，隨著華爾街日報一篇揭露其造價的文章發錶後，這個精心包裝的泡沫瞬間破滅，這個...
