Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup — John Carreyroe

Bad Blood: The story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is one of the most interesting stories in the rise and decline of Silicon Valley. John Carreyroe does a good job making the story come to life; it’s pretty readable. However, the journalistic spin presents some factual challenges. The way some characters were painted in various shades of black and white depending on John’s relationship with them leads me to wonder if fiction would be an equally useful way to explore the ethical and OBHR problems highlighted by Theranos.
