Satirical Theranos World site simulates Elizabeth Holmes' desktop, hits Fast Company
floguo · x · 2026-10-17
Developer Bo's satirical website theranos.world got covered by Fast Company. It drops visitors into a vintage Mac-style desktop as Elizabeth Holmes herself: log in with no password, open her Keynote files and spreadsheets, even have her stand up from her chair and look around.
Bo previously built other satirical sites, like one giving feedback on Hinge profiles. Beyond the fun, the deep dive into Holmes's universe shines a light on the tech world's toxic side — including quotes about VCs idolizing super-young founders ("she started Theranos at nineteen, her frontal lobe was far from developed") and quips about burning the most expensive model on a work-paid account.
Bo jokes he "may need to invest in some media training."
