Nice things people said:

Empathic media and technologies will shape future societies. This is a 
great book to jump-start your knowledge so you can have an educated 
opinion on how that future will look.

This thought-provoking, lucid, empirically rich book shows how 
technologies become sensitive to human emotions – and why we should 
care. Compulsory reading for students, researchers, technology 
developers and policy makers with feelings.

The entangling of digital media with human affect is one of the most 
transformative technological developments of our age. This book confirms 
Andrew McStay as one of the most insightful and empirically engaged 
scholars exploring this phenomenon.
