I've debated on checking this out as well as The Cult of We about WeWork. I'm just fascinated by rich "smart" people getting conned so hard. I guess I'm interested in anything where people get conned.
I just finished the book The Cryptopians, which is about the origin of the 2nd biggest crypto Ethereum, and it's pretty interesting learning about all the people involved and some of the philosophical discussions they have about this new technology. But there's also a lot of petty backstabbing as well lol
Ed Niedermeyer's Ludicrous, about Tesla is also worth reading and on the edge of this genre. Tesla definitely was a "fake it til you make it" situation in the past: whether it is now, who knows?

I do hope you heard the best joke - -
The board of Theranos was more suited to invade a country than to run a bio-medical venture.
