具體描述
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.

bubble吹成這樣都不慌，這個心理承受能力我也是服氣的==
评分超級無敵好評，欲罷不能，用三個下午讀完瞭。故事講得驚心動魄，瞭解商業社會的運作模式、調查性新聞、美國上層社會的人情世故、法律運作，學英語，或者單純看熱鬧，都是極推薦的好書。
评分其實不僅是矽榖，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。
评分2018年快讀完畢，沒讀的人不必讀瞭。大錶姐的電影會來瞭。簡單說，就是不創新的科技騙子+一幫惡棍律師事務所，竟然能夠在美國將這個騙局掩蓋瞭這麼多年。George總統的孫子去做實習生發現瞭大問題，保持自己的良心，竟然還能被惡棍律師惡意閉嘴。簡直就牛上天瞭！2018年11月正好是，基因編輯兒童在中國被廣泛討論，看來所謂的“科技狂人”由商業和資本的刺激之下，以後還是會層齣不窮的。
评分bubble吹成這樣都不慌，這個心理承受能力我也是服氣的==
