Sounds exactly like a cyberpunk novel. Realware by rudy Rucker touches on the possibility of this technology. |

Not so much Realware to me as another book I read whose title I can't remember... |
|

in which people's souls are copied into androids with a 1-day lifespan, that do all the work on earth while everyone lives a life of luxury in their real body.
Somewhere in the book there's a part where a dying person has their soul copied and dumped out through a huge antenna into space, to no result. |
