Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

Elizabeth Holmes founded Theranos, a startup that promised to change the medical industry with a machine capable of performing a wide range of diagnostic tests on a single drop of blood. Theranos raised over $700 million and was valued as high as $9 billion, but there was a big problem; the technology did not work.

This book tells a compelling story of one of the biggest corporate frauds in history, a disturbing tale set amid Silicon Valley's lofty promises. In November 2022, Holmes was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
