Cryonics

Alexander Piston, a young teenage boy, recklessly decides to be tested first in the field of cryonics--preserving humans using low temperatures. As risks are encountered during the procedures with the other test subjects, Xander is resumed--awakened--unwillingly. A second operation is unheard of, and contains unknown risks; Xander is refused a second chance to be paused--preserved by cryonics--and is left behind from the rest of most of the human population, including his parents. The world will resume in the future, but how can he catch up to the future?
