On May 1, 1964, The Beatles were in the studio recording I Saw Her Standing There. Neone (the main character in Reset, with the name derived from the title of a piece of music composed in May 2012), was born in May 2023 in Shanghai. On May 1, 2046, at age 23, Neone had become immortal and was in the recording studio at the stroke of midnight working on The I and the Me. In May 2011, Osama Bin Laden was killed in a commando raid after a decade of conflict in Afghanistan, while people were attending Occupy Wall Street protests. On May 1, 1995, Brian Eno was in Bosnia in the middle of the Balkans War. In May 2059, Neone's daughter has her first child, while Neone is still 23. Most importantly, all May 7ths are on a weekend.
