Side Life by Steve Toutonghi
I will read just about any alternate universe book, but this one is a gem. An out of work software tech is offered a job house-sitting while he recovers from the sting of his start-up being taken out of his control. The house is ultra-modern, empty, and the anonymous owner apparently has no plans on coming back. Vin, suspicious by nature, follows clues and discovers the secret of the house: A basement lab with tanks for suspended animation and a notebook filled with cryptic data. Once Vin decides to enter one of the tanks....things gets weird.
A fabulous bit of cerebral sf that takes the time to examine the emotional consequences of Vin's journey.
