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.

評分你有没有想过,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...
評分 評分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...
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。
评分全書最唏噓的一段就是女主把George Schultz這個近百歲的大神耍得團團轉,不惜和自己親孫子決裂甚至差點搭上親孫子的前途,說什麼也要力保她。所以大傢對老年人陷入詐騙寬容點吧…真的比中邪還可怕…

评分一個令人抑鬱的故事。本書最大的問題是它在前半部試圖以上帝視角來講述這個故事,但Carreyron並沒有足夠的信息來做這個上帝。因此前半部給我最大的感覺就是我産生的疑問全都得不到解答,在Carreyron開始用第一人稱講述這個故事之後就好瞭很多(我懷疑前半部是不是為瞭增加書的厚度,編輯要求他後來加上的)。Carreyron把Theranos多年成功的最大原因歸結於Holmes的個人魅力。我不買這個帳。這也是我最大的疑問。Carreyron沒能給我一個迴答,很可惜也沒辦法知道更多。在我粗淺的理解中,Holmes曇花一現的“成功”充分展示瞭所謂elitists,或者說“上層階級”的盲從與愚蠢。恐怕也正是這種愚蠢和其産生的嚴重後果纔造成瞭今天世界的割裂和populism explosion。三星半。
