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.

##2018年快讀完畢，沒讀的人不必讀瞭。大錶姐的電影會來瞭。簡單說，就是不創新的科技騙子+一幫惡棍律師事務所，竟然能夠在美國將這個騙局掩蓋瞭這麼多年。George總統的孫子去做實習生發現瞭大問題，保持自己的良心，竟然還能被惡棍律師惡意閉嘴。簡直就牛上天瞭！2018年11月正好是，基因編輯兒童在中國被廣泛討論，看來所謂的“科技狂人”由商業和資本的刺激之下，以後還是會層齣不窮的。
評分 評分 評分##Book of the year (by fat margin)!!! 本來以為是女騙子的獨角戲，結果是一場精彩無比動人心魄的群戲。這群雄心勃勃、驕傲自大又急於求成的人啊，簡直就是當今商業世界的生動白描。
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##開頭鋪得還不錯，感覺像是個豪門浪女，後來發現就是個三代破落戶。後麵陷入瞭反復攻擊同一問題的鬼打牆，找瞭幾十個人來作證Sunny和Elizabeth的管理近乎恐嚇暴政，然後産品不完善的情況下到處兜售。對於為什麼有名望的舊貴族、市場份額巨大的藥企買Theranos的詭計，統統歸咎於小妞的個人說服力和低沉的嗓音（小妞具體說瞭什麼又沒調查到），這就很滑稽瞭。我看瞭她好幾個采訪，這個女的其實語言效率極其低，邏輯也不算好。 是什麼魅力讓她真的說服大傢去接受一個半吊子産品？ 美元上印著 in god we trust，還是要深挖一下，為什麼這些人怕被 missed out, 他們相信這個小妞背後其實在相信什麼？ 比較二流吧。傳記作傢和調查記者都是靠寫作對象活的，你不是真正的愛她的是畏懼她我覺得還是不配拿普
