Wolfram:"...it feels like we’re starting to be able to train a serious “computational telescope” on the “social universe.” And it’s letting us discover all sorts of phenomena that have the potential to help us understand much more about society and about ourselves, and that, by the way, provide great examples of what can be achieved with data science..."
