You read the bobiverse books?
I've heard of it (a few times like this) but no I haven't read it.
I'm not really into the idea of mind uploading/clones (that's why I said put my brain in) at least not as I exist (and as society runs/doesn't) currently.
There is a lot of media that overlaps with the general idea of the type of lifestyle I'm imagining, especially anything where the robot (buddy) characters (treated like real characters/people) could have a brain.
Farscape has a living ship (although at one point a string of bad things happens to Moya, not that it's unexpected given the plot).
Spoiler kinda (it's chill though, and not even fully explained) but one of the characters in Bee&Puppycat lives (relatively) normally most of the show and sometimes something is hinted at or capability/nature briefly shown.
Well that and it being escapist fantasy, pretty much any post-scarcity setting (medical scanner/autodoc type stuff, existing is not a chore) works too.
