[Air-L] literature on theory and big data in social sciences

[Schaefer, M.T. (Mirko)]

I do not know if it has been mentioned already, but I find Noortje Marres' new book to sound very promising

Digital Sociology: The Reinvention of Social Research
http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0745684785.html

Cheers,
mirko
