![]() ![]() The Theranos helmsmen are of course the CEO Elizabeth Holmes and her elder boyfriend the COO Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. I could not remember how many characters are there in the book, but they could be categorized in three groups, Theranos helmsmen, Theranos zealots, and Theranos breakers. In this blog post, I would like to share some of my thoughts after reading the entire book. However, because I have a professional background in the life science academia and industry, and the central idea in the book is extremely strong, I did not have too much difficulty finish reading the book. As a non-native English speaker who hardly read books other than textbooks, sometimes I would have to look up the words in a dictionary. John Carreyrou is a two-time Pulitzer Prizing winning author, the word choices he made in the book were extremely good. I purchased the book “Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup” and finished reading the book in one month. ![]() However, I was already deeply astonished by the evil nature of Theranos when I watched the short YouTube video, confirming that my decision of leaving the field of life science or anything related is correct. I was too busy with my studies in computer science and did not find time to read the book until November 2019. I have two degrees in life science related disciplines, however, I did not know the existence of the company Theranos and its “legend” until I watched a book recommendation YouTube video at the end of 2018. ![]()
