[...] All in all, the work becomes an indispensable tool and a starting point for anyone intending to undertake any further research related to the possibilities and opportunities opened up by smartphones. -- Maria Angeles Ruiz-Moneva, University of Zaragoza, Spain The book offers a valuable view by proposing an ecosystem in which smartphone apps, like a biological ecosystem, connect users to each other tightly, reflecting the spontaneity and indispensability of SMC. As such, the most valuable contribution of the book lies in its in-depth cognitive investigation, especially of motivation, emotion, and feeling in relation to SMC. SMC is clearly not just a social phenomenon, but also a psychological human need to survive in the app ecosystem. In this sense, the old definition of communication needs to be rewritten as a cognitive activity triggered by psychological needs of connection and bonding. -- Jinmei Lyu, Anhui University, Hefei, PRC Author InformationFrancisco Yus is Full Professor at the University of Alicante, Spain, and guest professor at Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou, China.
