Very interesting and the type of nonfiction I really enjoy. One small quibble, the author called Elizabeth Holmes and Ramesh (Sunny) Balwani by their first names for much of the book, then switched to last names at the end. I found this somehow jarring.
I would NOT want to work for either Holmes or especially Balwani

riveting. i've already watched the doc on theranos (twice) and the hulu show based on this book yet even in this order of operations carreyrou's work did not disappoint. fascinating and insane stuff.
WOW! Better than any doc, podcast or articles you've ever read regarding this f-ed scam. One thing that the author and some people didn't seem to notice is that... All of this would NEVER had happened if she didn't have white privilege of an attractive blue eye, blond hair woman with connections. And she most likely will never have to see jail time or ever pay for her crimes UGH.
Very interesting. I especially liked the second half of the book when Carreyrou describes his investigative work and the interactions with Theranos that followed.
