You're thinking of the novel by "Sterling Blake" that 
was written about 7 years ago.  It *is* quite original 
and interesting.  The movie of the same name is totally 
seperate- and a total piece of b.s. It does nothing 
positive for cryonics or immortalism whatsoever; the 
cryonic suspension is just another way to create a 
scary, "soulless" zombie and scare the crap out of the 
audience- and, in the process, plant the "immortality is 
evil/diabolical/unnatural" meme a bit deeper.  Just what 
we all needed.  Thanks for less then nothing, Wes.:-( 
Anyway, this piece of highly forgettable rubbish has 
nothing to do with the novel.
