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.

过去一年，伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯（Elizabeth Holmes）这个名字在包括中国自媒体在内的各国商业媒体频繁出现，不过伴随的是一个丑闻，Theranos这家曾经的明星独角兽公司被证明是个骗局。 这样的故事实在是太好的传播题材，明星创业者，明星创业项目，成功人士从云端坠落，创业神话...
评分 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##对很多有关公司管理的问题都在我上一家公司的工作经历中有过似曾相识的感觉，但医疗行业涉及人命，对公司的管理水平、自查机制、道德底线的要求都更高。想象这个公司如果在国内创立，有没有可能会能够支撑更久？国内跟风的有钱老板/投资/投机机构和钱也非常多，所有已投资的投资人和创业公司组成利益相关体，可能会宁可知道有问题也要一起掩盖好找到下一个接盘侠。不过一直不上市的计划可能会让很多人望而却步，毕竟终极接盘侠是普罗大众。 这书其实讲了个挺明白的道理，专业的人做专业的事情，Elizabeth和最初支持她的大佬们都没有系统扎实的医学背景，完全是用工程师的思路在做这件事情，遇到问题他们的解决办法是“边吹边解决”，但医学突破不是工程技术问题，不可能一蹴而就，越是有deliver的压力，就越有跨越红线的危险。
评分 评分 评分##最精彩部分是默多克刚投了Theranos 1.25亿美元，却不肯答应Holmes干预自己控股的华盛顿邮报，认为编辑和调查记者会对事实负责，即便这会直接导致这1亿美元打水漂。
