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.

##九月的时候，读了一半不想读了。倒不是写得不好，主要是主人公把创业时该犯的错误全犯了，简直是创业失败教科书。 本书最惊心动魄的部分应该是从第十九章“线报”（The Tip）开始的。作者作为《华尔街日报》的调查记者在这一章正式登场，联系线人拿料、多方求证、与Theranos手段肮脏的超级律师团周旋过招（看完以后觉得调查记者这个职业真是太帅气了！），最后终于在2015年10月15日的华尔街日...

评分 评分##作为液体活检行业人员： 1-指尖血，本来就混杂有组织液等，不适宜做定量检验，这姐姐 也确实是书没读完，底子不扎实，这种原料就不好，当然和他现在的技术水平也没达到。 2-作为第三方实验室，技术作假 ，用其他公司的产品来检验，无视质量规范。 3-董事会没一个懂技术的，一个...
评分过去一年，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##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。
评分##2018年快读完毕，没读的人不必读了。大表姐的电影会来了。简单说，就是不创新的科技骗子+一帮恶棍律师事务所，竟然能够在美国将这个骗局掩盖了这么多年。George总统的孙子去做实习生发现了大问题，保持自己的良心，竟然还能被恶棍律师恶意闭嘴。简直就牛上天了！2018年11月正好是，基因编辑儿童在中国被广泛讨论，看来所谓的“科技狂人”由商业和资本的刺激之下，以后还是会层出不穷的。
