Paranoia give you Clones so the idea of having rules to solve character death has been around a while.
Or Car Wars and Brain Taping.

And John C Wright's "The Golden Age" series, which, while it has some serious flaws (creeping Ayn Rand-ism), is still a phenomenally well done effort at designing and describing a universe that isn't just post singularity, its post singularity at least eight times over, each one of which gave birth to at least one totally new form of human derived sentience.
Its true that the singularity sci fi out there tends to match what you describe. But otherwise semi thought out libertarianism (with a heavy and totally contradictory dose of military communalism) tends to be the working religion of the science fiction community. I've read enough Heinlein, and Heinleinesque fiction, over the years to be vaguely sick of it all.You know, I actually found the Objectivist viewpoint refreshing. I haven't read a novel with a similar setting that made the same social assumptions before. Most of what I've read had been pre-cusp, post-cusp working socialism or post-cusp dystopia. It was different.

I like it anyway. Lots of Ghost in the Shell in it.
Save points?! Blargh! Video-gamey!!!
