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.

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。
評分過去一年，伊麗莎白·霍爾姆斯（Elizabeth Holmes）這個名字在包括中國自媒體在內的各國商業媒體頻繁齣現，不過伴隨的是一個醜聞，Theranos這傢曾經的明星獨角獸公司被證明是個騙局。 這樣的故事實在是太好的傳播題材，明星創業者，明星創業項目，成功人士從雲端墜落，創業神話...
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...

評分##伊麗莎白管理下的Theranos大概是我能想象最令人恐懼的雇主。她為瞭讓員工更長時間地工作，為員工提供工作晚飯。但晚餐要到8點鍾纔會就緒，這就意味著員工至少得10點之後纔能離開辦公室。她對公司所有的信息都嚴密掌控，每個人都隻能分得碎片信息，沒有人有權限瞭解the whole picture。她極端懷疑他人，讓IT布下嚴密地監控網絡。連同事之間的即時消息都無法送達，導緻溝通效率極其低下。整個公司管理建立在secrecy和fear之上。可是人與其他生産工具不同的是，人能夠感受到痛苦。 隨後Theranos砸重金試圖用一張張法律文書堵住受訪者的嘴。有些人不願同流選擇沉默離開，有些人勇敢地講述瞭真相。這兩者都很棒。如果外界條件不允許我們毫無顧慮地做我們認為最正確的事情，起碼可以選擇不做幫凶。
評分##其實不僅是矽榖，全世界很多初創企業都遵循著fake-it-until-you-make-it模式，隻要不越過紅綫，投資者還是很寬容的。
