About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos--one of the biggest corporate frauds in history--a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword. "Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection." -- The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. 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 $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings--from journalists to their own employees.

In-depth investigation into the Theranos scandal
Only one chapter in, but loving it. Wall Street Journal journalist John Carreyrou came across the deception and facade of Theranos in October 2015. Since then it has been a roller coaster of fraud, suicide, lying, and now, federal charges. The drama only gets more jaw-dropping page by page.

Not a well written book
I received the book quickly and in very good shape - maybe it was even new. But the content is so drawn out. Person by person, step by step in a Boeing manner. This book could have been a five page article and be much more compelling. My book group is reading it and my plan now is to watch the documentary about the events.

Fascinating read
Fascinating real life story. Perhaps because with my medical background I was following the Theranos story closely and hoping that all I was reading in the initial reports would be true and revolutionary. Little did I, or most anyone else know that behind the scenes was an elaborate hoax designed to delude the American public and investors. I have a feeling that Elizabeth and Sunny will eventually get away with this.

Super Silicon Valley true crime story
I could NOT put this book down!! The story grabbed me right from the beginning and held me through to the end. The writing was excellent and the plot played out like a great work of fiction - but it's all true. It's going to make a great movie , if they just leave the story alone.

A must read. Sociopaths come in many different flavors.
A sociopath with lipstick, conning the super rich of their bounty. I wondered how they could be so gullible. Of course, this is in retrospect. But I am confident that I would have seen the scam early on, and been fired in the first month, had I worked for Theranos. This is an excellent, well researched and written read. I could not put it down and read it in 1.5 days. I salute the author. READ THIS BOOK!
