It's extremely disconcerting to say the least, to wake up from an accident and find that one hundred years have passed. Tegan Oglietti is definitely no sleeping beauty waiting around for things to happen, but the Australia she has to deal with is still much the same. All of the problems the world was facing in her old life - global warming, people smuggling, environmental degradation and more - are still there. Now there are other challenges too, and Tegan is right there in the thick of it being the first person to be successfully cryogenically frozen and restored.
This is a fantastic story which is shockingly believable. Tegan herself is a strong character (she has to be to deal with her unusual circumstances) and you are with her every step of the way. This book gets you thinking about so many different issues - refugees, the power of science, the power of celebrity, them versus us and even the state of one's soul.
Who would enjoy this? Connoisseurs of great reads will appreciate this engaging story with its fast moving plot and captivating protagonist.
