If you're interested in more of the (fictional) uses and problems presented by this technology, you might enjoy reading Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, which makes some use of hibernation in its plot. It is the sequel to The Three Body Problem, a hard sci-fi book that would probably be enjoyed by a lot of HNers.

Larry Niven also has some exploration into these matters.

Also, Amazon is dropping $1B to produce The Three Body Problem. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/the-three-body-problem-tv-adaptation-show-amazon-a8278066.html https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/the...

  That's incredible! I'm very excited to see how they do with that. It's also amazing that 1 billion dollars can be spent making a TV series today. A quick looks on Google shows that an episode of Game of Thrones (chosen because it seems like a really high budget show) costs ~$10-$15 million, so Amazon's Three Body is roughly equivalent to 6-10 seasons of GoT. Wild!

Great trilogy that explores, among many things, hibernation. Highly recommend too.
