Description
Miracle Blood: Theranos and the Silicon Valley Illusion is a gritty investigative narrative that follows the rise and collapse of one of Silicon Valley’s most celebrated startups. Promising hundreds of medical tests from a single drop of blood, Theranos sold a vision of painless, democratized health care while operating behind layers of secrecy. Through documented reporting and pressure-driven storytelling, the series examines how belief, power, and intimidation allowed unproven technology to flourish unchecked, and how the cost of that illusion was ultimately paid by employees, patients, and public trust.
