"Futurist" Jacque Fresco, who at age 93 has received some renewed interest 
thanks to those "Zeitgeist" movies on the web, writes negatively about revived 
cryonauts in his book, "Looking Forward" (1969). Scroll down to pp. 107-110:

As you can probably gather from his portrayal of the "sane" individuals in his 
utopia set in "the twenty-first century," Fresco engages in a certain amount of 
human nature denialism as well. The passage where the shiny happy Future People 
become "physically ill and vomit" at the behavior of a community of cryonauts 
could have come from the satirical film "Demolition Man."
