an incredible investigative journalism piece that is narrativized and injected with thematic depth extremely deftly. the revolving door of names in the first half is dizzying, intentionally so, which might put some people off, but made the final section where the names are pared down to only the most important all the more powerful. the biggest takeaway also ends up being so much bigger than theranos: this could be any company due to the mythologizing and excusing natures of tech startups and the venture capitalists that give them power.

Wow. I knew nothing about Elizabeth Holmes or Theranos until about a year ago & even then I knew very little. This was wild. There were so many times people stuck their heads in the sand. My jaw was on the floor constantly. 

Very informative & entertaining. I definitely recommend especially for true crime fanatics.

Crazy story. Very detailed recounting of a long history; insane how much and for how long this company was able to get away with it.
