Anthony Olcott Knihy
1. január 1950 – 1. január 2018
Anthony Olcott, píšuci pod pseudonymom Toni Brill spolu so svojou manželkou, je autorom, editorom a prekladateľom so širokým záberom. Jeho literárne diela, vrátane nominovaných románov a ocenených štúdií ruskej kriminálnej literatúry, skúmajú zložité vzťahy medzi komunikáciou, dátami a informáciami. Olcottov výskum sa zameriava na výzvy, ktoré masívna explózia médií predstavuje pri premene dát na informácie a informácií na spravodajské poznatky. Jeho hlboký záujem o transformáciu dát na spravodajské informácie je badateľný v celej jeho tvorivej aj odbornej činnosti.
