* Creator/PiersAnthony's ''{{Literature/Cluster}}'' series features a form of interstellar travel called "Kirlian transfer", in which a person's mind is transferred into a host body on the destination planet. (The hosts are volunteers, who get their bodies back when the visitor returns home.) It's considerably less expensive than teleporting an entire body over interstellar distances, and considerably faster than traveling by spaceships (which are not capable of FasterThanLightTravel). The setting includes a wide variety of alien races, so the host body may not be the same species as the traveling mind, particularly since the protagonists are often traveling to planets that no member of their species has physically visited; getting used to an entirely new set of limbs and sensory organs is a recurring story element.

* ''My Trip To Alpha 1'' by Alfred Slote has Voya-Code, where a person's mind and personality are transmitted through space to appear in a highly-functional android duplicate of the traveler's body so they can travel across the galaxy, while their original bodies remain in sleep storage until they return. (An android duplicate differs from the original body in that a small scar called the Computer Entry Scar appears on the small of the android's back.) The main protagonist of the story, Jack, uses this to visit his Aunt Katherine on Alpha 1, only to discover that the Aunt Katherine he is visiting is actually a Voya-Code android being used by her house servants, the Arbos, to give away all her property to them. The real Aunt Katherine is still in sleep storage on Alpha 1 and assumes that she is now on Earth and feels like she's been traveling forever when Jack finds her and has her awakened.

* The ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' story "Moon, Moon, Moon" involves a mystic society who astrally project themselves to the Moon, where they find that all the strangest romantic speculation as to what the Moon is like is true, because [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve they believe it is]]. They're also trying to sabotage the Apollo missions, out of fear that if someone ''physically'' travels to the Moon, this will impose scientific rationality on it, and "their" Moon will disappear in a PuffOfLogic.
* In ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'',Carter somehow mentally transmits himself to Mars and creates a {{tulpa}} identical to his own body. This isn't clearly established in the first book (beyond the fact he's back in his original clothes when he returns), but in later ones he takes steps as to what should happen to his Earth body while it's vacated.

* In ''Series/DarkMatter'' the "Transfer Transit" corporation scans the client, puts them in stasis, and grows a clone with their memories on the "destination" planet. The clone dies after three days or when it reports in for "recycling", in which case its memories are transmitted back to the original. But if the clone is killed without reclamation the original simply wakes up not knowing what happened to the clone.
