If you would like to read some sci-fi that plays with the idea of skipping through life via cryosleep, try The Worthing Saga by Orson Scott Card.

It's one of his earliest works, so it isn't as well-produced as some of his later stuff, but it explores some very interesting ideas.

(This story began life as a different novel called Hot Sleep. Having read both, I honestly can't remember which parts are in which version, but Card himself says he considers The Worthing Saga to be the official version)

(hint: in Card's story, cryotech created a dystopian, not utopian society)

Card is a Mormon. Not surprised that his fiction is dystopian.
Not all his fiction is dystopian.
