We visit a classic genre of cryogenic freezing in this 2010 Prometheus Award winning tale of a world where humans are commodities to be bought, sold and traded. People are incorporated and their actions restricted if they are unable to reach majority shareholder power over their own person.
Our protagonist doesn't drive you to have affection for him but he does bring you to his side as he leads the fight against incorporating when he wakes from 300 years in a self-made suspension unit. Cord's defiance of society's structure shakes the very foundations and threatens to destroy a world that seems to have finally found some peace.
A great book that gives pause for thoughts about the greater good vs. personal independence.
