A **holographic android** is, as I understand it, a robot in humanoid shape, capable of disguising itself as a real human/humanoid being via built-in holographic projectors. I assume the concept of holographic android first appeared in the *books*, as it's always been in sci-fi. So far I've encountered only two depictions of the subject, both from other media: 1. *Anime* - Combat android from anime short **'Deprive'** from the anthology [**'Robot Carnival'**][1] (1987) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfC-DJTz6Jg&feature=youtu.be&t=303 2. *Videogames* - [**PROXY holodroid**][2] from **Star Wars: The Force Unleashed** (2008) My question is, what was the first sci-fi work (most likely, in the form of *literature*) that featured holographic android? Who was the author and how was that android depicted? [1]: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093871/ [2]: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/PROXY
