Bad Blood pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
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.
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。
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。
评分Bill Gates推荐Bad Blood一定是想让大家都来看看死对头David Boies的丑事。
评分我有个疑问:这样的创业项目骗骗我这个纯文科生也就罢了,为什么一堆有理工科博士学位的大佬们都能被她骗得团团转?各种风投专家都跟僵尸一样地冲她砸钱?难道都归结于Holmes的人格魅力就完事了?
评分一个令人抑郁的故事。本书最大的问题是它在前半部试图以上帝视角来讲述这个故事,但Carreyron并没有足够的信息来做这个上帝。因此前半部给我最大的感觉就是我产生的疑问全都得不到解答,在Carreyron开始用第一人称讲述这个故事之后就好了很多(我怀疑前半部是不是为了增加书的厚度,编辑要求他后来加上的)。Carreyron把Theranos多年成功的最大原因归结于Holmes的个人魅力。我不买这个帐。这也是我最大的疑问。Carreyron没能给我一个回答,很可惜也没办法知道更多。在我粗浅的理解中,Holmes昙花一现的“成功”充分展示了所谓elitists,或者说“上层阶级”的盲从与愚蠢。恐怕也正是这种愚蠢和其产生的严重后果才造成了今天世界的割裂和populism explosion。三星半。
I still remembered searching WIPO for Theranos's patents and FDA establishment registration back in 2015, and was disappointed to find that there's little evidence that this company was worth 9 billion. I've been since following the Theranos's downfall, whi...
评分你有没有想过,如果在 2019 年,你可以心想事成,那你的人生巅峰最好可以混成什么样子? 首先,应该有钱,有一辈子都花不完的钱——比方说身家 300 亿,公司市值 600 亿,够不够? 其次,还要有颜,全国的大牌杂志封面,排着队让你上——他们说除了影视明星,你就是最美的那颗...
评分这几乎是一个难分「梦想」和「谎言」的时代。九零后的币圈明星一边创造了「巴菲特午餐」的新竞拍纪录,一边又顺手「还击」了当年看他如同「打量骗子的眼神」的旧日宿怨。他引以为傲的「高市值」为他带来了比当年更加「宽容」的环境,舆论关键词从「欺骗」变成了更加政治正确的...
