ok like the reporting here is great and I respect the work Carreyrou (and the brave whistleblowers!) did to bring this fucked up story to light. But I think for me at this point in time, like, this was really more information than I personally required. And the audiobook narrator is...fine, but not really enhancing this.

I think at this point in time I would have been better off watching one of the TV adaptations (somehow I haven't watched any of them yet) and/or just some articles, maybe a podcast. Readers who are more interested in the scientific nitty gritty of how Theranos was supposed to work/why it didn't would likely get more out of this but I was like...whatever, she's a scammer, I get it.
