Let me spoil the events of the first chapter or two of We Are Legion.
Spoiler
Guy gets rich making an app and selling it to Google (or whoever). On the way home, as a joke, he takes some of the money and signs up for a company that freezes your head after death. He is immediately hit by a car and dies.
Fast forward 200 years: he wakes up!
Turns out his consciousness is not in his brain at all. He’s in a computer. They stick him in a deep space probe and launch him into space. This is a special probe that can self-replicate at the atomic level. He can literally clone his (probe) body and consciousness.

Then shenanigans happen.
It’s a really good series.
