I neglected to mention it in my previous note on agent-based simulation, but an excellent source of information on social simulation, agent-based and otherwise, is the online Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation. I have followed it for years. To get a good feeling for how this area is progressing, its useful to browse some of their recent titles. It shows current progress and also the challenge of using social simulation to understand systems of people.

Reminds me of an old science fiction story (called 'The News from D Street is Very Bad' IIRC) about a virtual private eye who discovers he's in a simulation.
