Words.
"...There’s a rumor that this Tupac “hologram” is going on tour, and that other such reincarnated artists — maybe a virtual John Lennon to sing duets with Paul McCartney — are in the works. But I hope it’s not true; the reanimated dead are never the people they were before. Oh, they sing the same, and rap the same, and have the same distinctive tattoos and hand gestures. But they don’t have the complexity, or the humanity, to really compel our interest. They’re ghosts — ghosts in a new machine, perhaps — but at best they are no more than the shadow of the shadows that they cast upon us, back when they were alive"
