Space Invaders, Theranos Edition! pic.twitter.com/gOeUNqASBU— John Carreyrou (@JohnCarreyrou) April 13, 2018
Just learned of a priceless anecdote (so too late to include it in the book): At a company party, Theranos employees played a video game modeled after Atari's Space Invaders: The gun was the miniLab, the bullets the nanotainers and the invader being shot at: Yours Truly!— John Carreyrou (@JohnCarreyrou) April 12, 2018
This is getting better and better: the former Theranos employee who created the video game reached out to me and sent me a screenshot of the game! https://t.co/aXJxTu0pxF— John Carreyrou (@JohnCarreyrou) April 13, 2018
A clarification the creator of Theranos Space Invaders wanted me to pass on: “Theranos management did not sanction this, nor was it an official project with a bunch of engineers working on it. It was just a way for me to learn Python, and try to cheer up my former co-workers.”— John Carreyrou (@JohnCarreyrou) April 13, 2018
