The reputation of Silicon Valley, once compared to the glory of Florence during the Renaissance, plummeted in recent years because of its power, its privacy lapses and its arrogance. Then, as the trial of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes wrapped up, cynics decided that things are even worse than they thought.
