You’re revived in the year 2190 by a totalitarian state who wants to use you to fly a space mission that no sane person would volunteer for. (That’s the plot of Niven’s “A World Out of Time”.)


You're revived in the year 2190 by a totalitarian communist state specifically so that they can have a show trial and then torture and execute you.


You are revived penniless and have to jump a border fence to work for scraps cleaning a rich GPU's bathroom.


You are awakened in 1000 years and tortured for eternity by CyberGPT 1000.

that physical/mental pain in the process (much like more severe surgeries) is a thing - especially if it's something you retain any amount of consciousness with.

There was a really horrible and thought provoking movie on this on netflix, I wish I could remember the name. Basically a guy is revived but they're still experimenting with the unrefined process so he lives as an experiment trapped in a hospital.
