坏血：“女乔布斯”和她的高科技初创公司骗局（译文纪实）
(u. S.) John Carreiro
This book reveals the elaborate multi-billion dollar scam orchestrated by Theranos and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes. The company claims to be able to complete hundreds of tests with just a drop of blood, and has quickly grown into a "unicorn" with a valuation of US$9 billion. Holmes is even known as the representative of Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial myth. However, this is actually an unprecedented technological fraud: the so-called revolutionary technology does not exist at all. What is shocking is that many political and business celebrities - including former Secretary of State Kissinger, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and the founder of Oracle - have become guests of its board of directors. With detailed investigation and calm writing, this book peels back the truth of this largest corporate fraud case since the Enron incident, asking how a Stanford dropout deceived the entire American elite, and provides a profound reflection on the myth of Silicon Valley and blind faith in human nature.
