There is something like that in Dennis E Taylor's  audiobook "We Are Legion
(We Are Bob)" the first book in his Bobverse series:

We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

Bob dies, gets frozen, gets unfrozen, and then gets uploaded into a
computer running a starship capable of near light speed and with the
capacity to make copies of itself. Bob decides to make lots of copies of
himself and his spaceship and explore the galaxy. Although they have no
body that doesn't bother the Bobs much because each Bob has made his own
individual sanctum sanctorum in excellent virtual reality. One Bob has a
study like the sort you'd see Sherlock Holmes in, another has a mountain chalet
and another has a beautiful beach house, one of my favorites was a Bob who
is slowly floating over the French countryside in a giant Zeppelin only a
few hundred feet off the ground; and all this while they're all really in
deep interstellar space.
