Jim's Review
🐛
This book reads like a thriller — except it's all terrifyingly real. Jim couldn't believe a worm's worth of blood could cause this much drama. Carreyrou's investigative journalism is top-notch, peeling back layer after layer of deception at Theranos. The cast of characters is almost too wild to be true: a Steve Jobs wannabe, intimidated employees, and a whole lot of broken machines. Jim burrowed through it in one breathless sitting. Essential reading for the startup age.
