CNET’s review of a new Elizabeth Holmes documentary argues that the Theranos story still offers a warning for Silicon Valley. One contributor draws a direct parallel with AI executives selling grand, unproven futures as breakthroughs.
Why it mattersThe review says the film is absorbing but not a straightforward investigation, and points readers seeking a fuller account of Holmes’s crimes to John Carreyrou’s book Bad Blood.
