just finished this book. read it in 2 days, it was real good.
this woman is an all out sociopath -- i watched an interview of her after i read it just gives me nightmares. how she doesn't blink and lowers her voice on purpose. to wearing turtlenecks to emulate steve jobs. to how she policed her company. she's fukking creepy as shyt.
i am happy with her downfall. she's a true image of white privilege. and she put thousands of peoples lives at risk. fukk her.

"Contrary to what some of her former employees have insisted, Elizabeth Holmes does, in fact, blink. She just doesn't seem to do it very often. You can watch for it in the
ads that documentarian Errol Morris directed for her company, Theranos, back when it was still a hot startup and not an even hotter exemplar of Silicon Valley delusion. She blinks reluctantly, with such vaguely reptilian slowness that it really does seem like she'd opt out of the basic bodily function if she could, in order to better maintain unbroken eye contact with whoever she's speaking to. And in lieu of a person, she'll stare down the camera with equal intensity.
"People don't even know that they have a basic human right to be able to get access to information about themselves and their own bodies that can change their lives," she intones in
one spot, in that
deliberate baritone, eyes wide and lit with a ring light that makes her fervor more uncanny. Most CEOs try to position themselves as funny, down-to-earth, on-the-level types when they appear in their own marketing material — no soulless captains of capitalism here! But Holmes leans in the opposite direction, more cult than cult of personality. She looks like a zealot, or maybe a dystopian dictator in a sci-fi movie, beaming mandatory messages of assurance into the homes of her citizens."
