John Carreyrou’s Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup is the definitive, award-winning account of the Theranos debacle, a saga of dizzying ambition and catastrophic hubris. Through painstaking investigative journalism, Carreyrou reveals how Stanford dropout Elizabeth Holmes convinced investors, board members, and the media that her biotech company had revolutionized blood testing, when in reality the technology was flawed and put countless patients at risk. This national bestseller reads like a corporate thriller, peeling back the layers of a fraud that fooled the brightest minds in business and technology.

For readers fascinated by business, entrepreneurship, and venture capital gone wrong, this book offers an unparalleled look inside a startup unicorn built on lies. Carreyrou’s reporting on the biomedical technology and corporate finance machinations behind Theranos exposes not only the dangers of Silicon Valley’s “fake it till you make it” culture but also the courage of the whistleblowers and journalists who brought the truth to light. From boardrooms to courtrooms, Bad Blood is a masterclass in narrative nonfiction that holds lessons for tech leaders, investors, and anyone captivated by true crime stories of corporate greed.
