À propos de cet audio

 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.

Finished the 11hrs+ in just 1d. Beautifully written. Narration was ok to good. I’m still stunned that this was allowed to happen. Would have liked more of a prologue...is my only wish.

A horrifying true story of the breakdown of a Silicon Valley darling that kept me captivated to the end. While this isn't a traditional "true crime" book with unsolved murders and missing corpses, I would highly recommend it to all the "murderinos" out there. The fact that no one died is a miracle! To push out a phone or app before it is ready is ill-advised; to do the same with a device that people are intended to use to make life-altering medical decisions is unethical and criminal! I hope that Holmes and Balwani are both held to account for their actions. Fantastic writing and investigating on the part of Carreyrou; his role in the unmasking of Theranos goes to show why long-form reporting is still so important. Narrator Damron handled the salacious story well.

Made my blood boil!
