I've signed up for cryonics (with Alcor) because I believe that if civilization doesn't collapse then within the next 100 years there will likely be an intelligence trillions upon trillions of times smarter than anyone alive today.

If such an intelligence did come into being do you think it would have the capacity to revive my frozen brain?

I don't think any intelligence can read information that is no longer there. So, no, I don't think it will help.
