The story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is a fascinating one - I read the book "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou and it's a compelling tale. What you say about the culture of silicon valley rings true. It's that kind of thinking - acting without thought to the consequences - that got the world into the mess it's in today. Sadly, I don't have any answers
Thanks for the book recommendation, Melanie. I believe the documentary is somewhat based on the reporting from the book but it would be interesting to read it for sure. I am curious about how much of this Silicon Valley culture is adopted (without any questioning) by tech companies in other parts of the world? Or if other countries would act smarter, taking some lessons from this debacle. One can hope!
