Assuming that certain quantum gravity and string theories are correct, then yes we are. A very very BIG hologram.
But that's too big an assumption for me.

Mathematically, it's possible and the universe does show the information traits indicative of a holographic universe, especially the black holes and Hawking radiation. Of course, this would be holograms as diffraction patterns of string theory, the laymen perspective of holograms is completely erroneous even for actual holograms. The very density of information in the universe indicates that the universe does not exceed the information limits of a hologram, this has been established by the event horizon area of a black hole.
A holographic universe allows the universe to exist in fewer dimensions than we perceive so in a sense, it's simplifying the universe.

No but the stars are holograms. The government put them there so gnomes could scurry around without us noticing via distraction

no...plain and simple. a hologram is a 3d image and so far not perfect enough to be too convincing.
