Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

by John Carreyrou

John Carreyrou's Bad Blood reconstructs the rise and collapse of Theranos, the blood-testing startup that promised a medical revolution and delivered fraud. It's investigative journalism written with the propulsion of a thriller, and a clear-eyed study of how charisma, money, and fear can keep a lie standing far longer than it should.
