En 2014 Elizabeth Holmes era considerada como la mujer Steve Jobs: una brillante alumna que abandonó Stanford, cuyo mágica nueva empresa prometía revolucionar la industria médica con una máquina que haría las pruebas de sangre significativamente más rápidas y fáciles.Respaldados por inversionistas importantes, Theranos vendió acciones en una ronda de recaudación que valoró a la compañía en más de 9.000 millones.Solo había un problema: la tecnología no funcionaba.Durante años, Holmes había engañado a inversionistas, funcionarios de la FDA y a sus empleados. Cuando John Carreyrou destapó escándalo en 2015 en el Wall Street Journal fueron amenazados con demandas. En 2017 el valor de la compañía era cero y Holmes se enfrentaba a una acción legal potencial del gobierno e inversionistas. In the weird glow of the dying millennium, Michael Lewis set out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world’s most important technology entrepreneur. He found this in Jim Clark, a man whose achievements include the founding of three separate billion-dollar companies. Lewis also found much more, and the result—the best-selling book The New New Thing—is an ingeniously conceived history of the Internet revolution. Jerry Kaplan had a dream: he would redefine the known universe (and get very rich) by creating a new kind of computer. All he needed was sixty million dollars, a few hundred employees, a maniacal belief in his ability to win the Silicon Valley startup game. Kaplan, a well-known figure in the computer industry, founded GO Corporation in 1987, and for several years it was one of the hottest new ventures in the Valley. Startup tells the story of Kaplan\'s wild ride: how he assembled a brilliant but fractious team of engineers, software designers, and investors pioneered the emerging market for hand-held computers operated with a pen instead of a keyboard and careened from crisis to crisis without ever losing his passion for his revolutionary idea. Along the way, Kaplan vividly recreates his encounters with eccentric employees, risk-addicted venture capitalists, and industry giants such as Bill Gates and John Sculley. And no one -- including Kaplan himself -- is spared his sharp wit. Computer manufacturing is—after cars, energy production and illegal drugs--the largest industry in the world, and it\'s one of the last great success stories in American business. Accidental Empires is the trenchant, vastly readable history of that industry, focusing as much on the astoundingly odd personalities at its core—Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mitch Kapor, etc. and the hacker culture they spawned as it does on the remarkable technology they created. Cringely reveals the manias and foibles of these men (they are always men) with deadpan hilarity and cogently demonstrates how their neuroses have shaped the computer business. But Cringely gives us much more than high-tech voyeurism and insider gossip. From the birth of the transistor to the mid-life crisis of the computer industry, he spins a sweeping, uniquely American saga of creativity and ego that is at once uproarious, shocking and inspiring.
