In the last few years, electronic media brought a revolution in traceability of social phenomena.As particles bubble chamber, trajectories leave digital trails that can be analyzed to gain deeper understanding collective life.To make sense these traces renewed collaboration between and natural scientists is needed.In this paper, we claim current research strategies based on micro-macro models are unfit unfold complexity existence priority should instead development new formal tools exploit richness data.
