  Only saw recently someone pointed out The Egg is written by Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary). Similar idea of being dead for a long time then reincarnated appears in the short story Divided By Infinity: https://www.tor.com/2010/08/05/divided-by-infinity/ https://www.tor.com/2010/08/05/divided-by-infinity/

    I fell in love with the story when I first encountered it. I didn't realize who the author was for a long time (but it stands on its own).

    The idea also shows up as a side note in one of the Culture series novels.

    Someone made a really good 8 minute animated video of The Egg: https://youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI https://youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI
