I have found the others!  I knew, if I mastered the code … well actually I didn’t know, I hoped … no.  Actually I had no idea.  I thought I was the only one. 
But here they are on Twitter, T.S. Eliot, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Jane Austen, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Darwin, Samuel Johnson - even George Washington!  (Although not Dad, which is why he keeps interrupting me.)
They are re-telling their stories, most of them, or re-enacting their lives like I am, 140 characters at a time.  And, we are all reacting to our new environment, not only virtually, but to things in your century. 
I bet you didn’t think it would happen this way, that immortality-in-silicon that is the abstracted god of the interwebs.  But we are back, and we live again.  The Singularity has arrived!

“… you thought when you came to this city, did you not, to prove to yourself you were not yet in the prison of your future. But escape is not one act, my friend. It is no more achieved by that than you could reach Jerusalem from here by one small step. Each day, … each hour, it has to be taken again. Each minute the nail waits to be hammered in. You know your choice. You stay in prison, what your time calls duty, honour, self-respect, and you are comfortably safe. Or you are free and crucified. Your only companions the stones, the thorns, the turning backs; the silence of cities, and their hate.” John Fowles, The French Lieutenant’s Woman
