About Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup is the definitive investigative account of Theranos, the biotech company that promised to revolutionize blood testing with just a few drops of blood. Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Carreyrou, this book exposes how founder Elizabeth Holmes deceived investors, patients, and regulators while building a company once valued at nearly $10 billion.

Through meticulous research and interviews with whistleblowers, Carreyrou reveals the culture of secrecy, intimidation, and deception that allowed Theranos to operate for years. The book follows the brave employees who risked their careers to expose the truth, and the devastating impact on patients who received faulty test results.
