Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I never did get good feedback from
my public appearances. Abrasive, I think was the word I heard most.

 On the one hand, if the holograms never acknowledged their own state
of existence, then any mention of an outside world was out of the
question. People couldn't ask Freud what he thought about some social
media slight or cyber-bullying incident. I stopped calling them
“characters” when I realised that.
