To add to the discussion of cryo-sf, my favorite cryonics-based SF
novel is "Age of the Pussyfoot" by Fredrick Pohl.  I think it is also
available as one of the two stories in "Bi-Pohl", published in
paperback.  Look for it in your library.

The story is becoming a little dated now.  The "amazing" portable
phone all the future-people have seems a lot like a cell-phone.  But
they're still ahead of us in artificial intelligence.  Otherwise, I
would call the story optimistic, although the cryonaut hero has his
problems readjusting.
