If you could bring back any author(s) from the dead, who would they be?

please note : tolkein and lovecraft already have undergone the initial version of this process

also please note : their corpus needs to be sufficiently large to prevent overtraining

I really want to read Fyodor’s take on modern society (altought he really nailed that already) both philosophically and psychologically. I’d love to see a modernization of his humor as well because I haven’t laughed harder at books than I have reading Dostoevsky (particularly C&P and Notes from the Underground)
