Frozen takes the form of an inspection window looking into a revolving cryonic preservation chamber. It asks questions about the quest to conquer death and the motives of those involved.
Cryonic preservation has been used as a convenient narrative device in many science fiction stories, but the present-day practise raises far more complex issues. Nobody that submits themselves to the process has any guarantee that they will ever be revived. They must have faith in science and they must invest heavily in the possibility of a new future.
