具体描述
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.

用户评价
全书最唏嘘的一段就是女主把George Schultz这个近百岁的大神耍得团团转，不惜和自己亲孙子决裂甚至差点搭上亲孙子的前途，说什么也要力保她。所以大家对老年人陷入诈骗宽容点吧…真的比中邪还可怕…
评分话题很抓人眼球，但是作者的书写水平盛名之下其实难副，直到读到最后才感觉之所以能获得普利策奖更大的可能性是在于作者的勇气，他要面对的阻力是来自于政界高层人物，法律界和风投界大佬，这份视死如归的勇气是读完这本书最大的收获。至于故事的内容就是翻来覆去说那么几个点罢了。应了古话树倒猢狲散，墙倒众人推。 Theranos能走到那个高位和EH的个人魅力有多大关系，我认为不见得有必然联系，更有可能是因为Theranos兜售的概念是新颖的，各界大佬生怕错过机会，就像国内对于新兴概念的爆炒，最后都是投资人倒霉。好在Theranos没有成功，毕竟这是关乎性命的事情，作者如果能够更深入的探讨这种现象背后的诱因，这书就真升华了。为什么那么多猴精的风投会上当受骗，技术壁垒是一部分原因，更多的恐怕是贪婪吧。
评分这本书虽然是非虚构，但是比侦探小说还要抓住我的心。作者的写作功力了得，同样的气氛，相似的事件被描述得各有千秋。故事本身非常吸引人，加上优美的文笔，阅读这本书，实在是令人喜悦。

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。
