Published on 2018-05-21 by Knopf
A National Bestseller |Chilling…Reads like a West Coast version of All the President’s Men.| —The New York Times Book Review The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO and threats by her lawyers. In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup |unicorn| promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work. A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.

Don't you sort of hate how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads whereby probably fifty per cent (or more) of the evaluations written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed within their variously efficient attempts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you sort of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's happy druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were evenly plainspoke Don't you type of hate how we have joined the decadent period of Goodreads wherein perhaps fifty percent (or more) of the opinions compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually nude and unabashed inside their variously efficient efforts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you type of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the good ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were consistently plainspoken, merely utilitarian, unpretentious, and -- most importantly otherwise -- dull, boring, dull? Don't you kind of hate when persons state'do not you think this way or feel like that'in an attempt to goad you both psychologically and grammatically in to accepting using them? In what of ABBA: I really do, I do, I do(, I actually do, I do). Well, because the interwebs is just a world where the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we are able to review days gone by in their inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at the least till this amazing site finally tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in their entirety. I've destined it with a heavy rope and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please realize that many a sic are recommended in the following reviews.) its actually complex and stupid! why cant we be studying like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that book is good! There you've it. Refreshingly, not just a review published in one of many witch's voices or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal scream unleashed into the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's overview of the same play. You could'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies he designs problems... which can be the case, for many I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you don't want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it had been designed to be read, then it will be a novel, not really a play. Along with that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for every character for a few pages). None folks had browse the play before. None folks wanted to learn it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. All this compounded to produce me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And yes it can actually fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you definitely have sinned and are likely to hell, in the event that you believe in hell. If not, you're going to the DMV. I'm also fed up with whatever you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age whenever we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to expect others tokowtow to the small linguistic rules. Artsy phrase will probably free of charge alone irrespective of how you are probably trying to be able to shackle it. That may be your stick, Aubrey. Around my own opinion, the particular play Macbeth had been the actual worste peice actually authored by Shakespeare, this says quite a bit taking into consideration i also understand his or her Romeo and Juliet. Ontop with it is really by now fantastic story, impracticable characters as well as absolutly discusting range of morals, Shakespeare overtly molds Female Macbeth as the legitimate vilian from the play. Thinking about she actually is mearly a tone of voice within the trunk circular as well as Macbeth himself will be truely choosing the actual horrible crimes, as well as killing and also scam, I wouldn't see why it is so quick to visualize this Macbeth would certainly be prepared to accomplish superior as opposed to evil doubts their girlfriend have been far more possitive. I think that your play is definitely uterally unrealistic. Although the subsequent is in no way a ne plus ultra connected with basic publication reviewing. When succinct as well as with virtually no annoying interest for you to coyness or perhaps cuteness, Jo's assessment alludes to some anger so outstanding it's inexpressible. A single imagines a few Signet Classic Features broken in to to help parts having pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I personally don't like this kind of play. Because of this in which I can't perhaps offer you every analogies or perhaps similes as to the amount of We despise it. A strong incrementally snarkier variety will often have mentioned anything like...'I personally don't like this perform such as a simile I cannot come up with.' Not really Jo. She talks a raw, undecorated reality unsuitable pertaining to figurative language. As well as there's certainly no problem together with that. When around a fantastic when, when you are getting neck-deep within dandified pomo hijinks, it is really an excellent wallow while in the pig dog pen you're itchin'for. Appreciate it, Jo. I really like mom and her futile holding on similes in which are unable to technique the particular bilious hate inside your heart. That you are my verizon prepaid phone, as well as I'm yours. Figuratively conversing, of course. And today the following is my own evaluate: Macbeth simply by William Shakespeare is the best fictional perform inside the Language expressions, and anyone who disagrees is usually an asshole along with a dumbhead.
