A new TV show called Futurama upcoming from the creator of The Simpsons
has a pizza boy falling into a vat of LN at a cryonics facility (or some
such scheme) and revived 1000 years later.  

Wired magazine has a feature on the show at
http://www.wired.com/wired/current.html  

Here is a quote from Matt Groening, the creator, on the themes of the
show: "The themes: If you are a loser, is it possible to reinvent
yourself? How do you deal with the desire for youth, for the return of
dead loved ones, and what does it mean to be finite in the universe?"  

I guess that is how many people view us, as losers who want to reinvent
themselves. Maybe they're right......
