ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou tells the gripping story of Theranos, a health-tech company founded by Elizabeth Holmes, who promised to revolutionize medical testing with a device that could perform a wide range of tests from just a few drops of blood. The book explores themes of ambition, deception, and corporate greed, revealing how Holmes’s relentless drive for success led her to mislead investors, doctors, and patients about the effectiveness of her technology. Carreyrou’s investigation uncovers the dark side of Silicon Valley’s culture, highlighting the dangers of unchecked ambition and the ethical cost of innovation at any price.
