Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup is a nonfiction book by journalist John Carreyrou, released May 21, 2018. It covers the rise and fall of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup headed by Elizabeth Holmes.[1] The book received critical acclaim, winning the 2018 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award.

In 2021, a film adaptation was announced, to star Jennifer Lawrence, to be written by Vanessa Taylor and to be directed by Adam McKay.[2] However, after seeing Amanda Seyfried's critically acclaimed performance playing Holmes in the limited series The Dropout, Lawrence exited the project.[3]
