Bad Blood 豆瓣 Goodreads
8.7 (57 个评分) 作者: John Carreyrou Knopf 2018 - 5
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.

作者选择用时间顺序写Theranos的发展,对了解“到底发生了什么”非常有用。但是一到后面作者本人出场的部分,整个叙事节奏都更加紧凑了,变得更好看了,看得出作者对自己很满意。不过这本书也只是详实地写了发生了什么,没有深入分析背后的运作怎么把Theranos推上这个位置然后又让它跌落神坛的。如果发生在某政治高于一切的地方,那么得到这么多政治界大佬背书投资的Theranos如果出事,就只会在微博曝光,然后火速被删帖,Holmes等公司领导以惊人的速度下狱,但是Theranos这个公司完好无损,该怎么赚钱就怎么赚钱,该怎么害人还怎么害人。

Taking the radical position that great companies can fail precisely because they excel at the commonly accepted practices of good management, this work demonstrates why outstanding companies like Xerox, IBM, Sears and DEC had their competitive antennae up, listened to customers, and invested aggressively in new technologies, and still lost their positions of market dominance. And it shows companies today how they can avoid a similar fate.
