Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

Fascinating book. My one complaint is that I find it baffling that the book implies if not outright states multiple times that Holmes got away with it for so long because she is a woman, and people wanted a “female steve jobs” which seems hard to buy (source: I've been a woman for 23 years and counting). Also I kept waiting for the book to say more about corporate culture but there was maybe one line about “startup culture”. I don't think Holmes is much different from her idols, or rather I think the main difference is that she was a scammer that put peoples lives in line, of course - But her treatment of employees (which arguably resulted in the death of one), her obsession with success I find it hard to believe that is unique to her.
