The hologram thing is sort of puzzling and not especially comforting in that respect.

I think he's probably thinking of Utility Fog, but trying to avoid having to introduce new nomenclature. The general public is familiar with "holograms" from Star Trek, which are clearly not anything like actual holograms. This could also be a reference to virtual reality based bodies which would have three dimensional (and thus hologram-like) properties.
