Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather overthink rebirth in popular culture, discussing the digital resurrection of cultural icons like John Lennon or Tupac and the multivalent intellectual and emotional experience of encountering these ghoulish digital simulacra. Can we reclaim what has been lost? Technology has come to mediate memory and legacy, storytelling and nostalgia, loss and identity. A Tupac hologram or a new Beatles song may not be what we need, but it is certainly what someone wants.
