What if? (Sci-Fi Scenario)

What if at the end of everyday you were given the choice to live the next day, or go back and live a day you've already lived? What if in the future a technology offered the option to experience the past, not through a time machine, but a function of memory?

There are two catches. First, if you decide to live a day in the past, you must live it exactly how it was, you cannot interfere with your past self, only spectate both your past self's thoughts and emotions first hand. Second, if you decide to live a day in the past, your present self will be controlled by an autopilot program and you will never be able to re-live this present day again. 

It's pretty far into the future. In a world where this memory technology exists, there have been many other "convenient" advancements. The cities are run by autopilots. Transportation consists of small, personal train cars, and sleek sports cars, both run by a self operated program system. Business and apartment buildings have grown to a point where they extend past the clouds. The air is thick, but new technological advancements now look towards environmentally friendly approaches because they cannot avoid it any longer. Furniture is white and in modern, geometric shapes, matching walls and roads and cars of the same colour and style. There are fewer and fewer jobs, and automated robots are beginning to take over most things; this means societies are beginning to run into issues with money and credit systems. Human agriculture has become extinct, being replaced by underground farms in which autopilots are used to grow food and crops in synthesized conditions. The average person lives their life in constant entertainment, other than attending school when they are young, until about an age of 120 years.

The protagonist is among the elderly people in society who are perplexed by the rise of robotics. However, ironically most seniors (despite being against the use of robots and technology) are entirely engaged in the automated program used for re-living memories. My character's children become increasingly distressed about the constant autopilot their father is on, and the protagonist becomes increasingly depressed when living in reality. Finally my character must face the truth and come to terms with the present; this requires him to spiritually come to terms with his death and find the beauty in the new revolution.
