This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs. A brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that could make blood testing faster and easier, she became a Silicon Valley superstar. Her company was valued at more than $9 billion, making her the youngest self-made female billionaire. There was just one problem: the technology didn't work. This is the riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the audacious promises of Silicon Valley.
