I enjoyed this, thanks. (But, it’s hard to believe that in all those years they haven’t just made anti-aging technology, so you don’t have to reset every ~70 years…)
I’ve thought of writing a similar premise, but it involved an active checkpointing step where you get a brain scan, like a save point in a video game, and it only reset your memories and psychology, not your whole body. My first thought was that people would do extreme sports like climbing very dangerous cliffs without ropes, just checkpointing first and knowing they could easily reset if they died.
While that story does involve savepointing your body (while keeping your memories), your description reminds me a bit of “Run”, Bakri Says (specifically the “doing very dangerous things, knowing they could reset if they died” part).

Yeah, mind uploading would be the more realistic path before engenerator machines were built.
I can imagine it now, people as a service, PaaS, softened by the sales pitch of PZaaS
