"Readers who fully absorb the more disturbing details of Woyke's
report will never be able to download a new app or listen to a
podcast without a twinge or two of consumer guilt."
—Booklist
"A smartphone full monty that will appeal mostly to the device's
users—all 1.75 billion of them."
—Kirkus Reviews
"A well-reported comprehensive overview of the smartphone's
innovators and the challenges surrounding the industry. A deeply
worthwhile read for anyone interested in the socioeconomic impact
of a device that has become so prevalent in our lives."
—Yukari Iwatani Kane, author of Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve
Jobs
"I learned more from Elizabeth Woyke's The Smartphone than I have
from any two or three other books on digital communication I have
read in the past few years. A superior reporter, Woyke brilliantly
presents a clear-eyed view of this new communication device that
has conquered everything in sight. This book is an eye-opener."
—Robert W. McChesney, author of Digital Disconnect
