M I've read a lot of sci-fi. Never seen anything like what you mention. It seems very original. For a piece of futuristic "bounty hunter", it seems very interesting. I realize others have had some misgivings about the premise, due to age, but as an aging human, myself, I can relate to it. After all, speaking cynically, doesn't the current age and time specify a retirement age which is nothing more than saying, "This is the age at which the corporation figures you have reached a balance of not being able to contribute any more, and, won't live so long as to drain our retirement resources." In other words, being put out to pasture. So, your premise is not so far-fetched. It lends itself to short stories (with your lead-in as it is) and to a novel with a few subplots etc., should you decide to "flesh" out and spend more time setting up the "intro" you have displayed. Imaginative and interesting.
