I've recently played through the game "Soma" which had a similar concept. Warning spoilers: The main character goes to a doctor to get his brain scanned following a car crash. After the brain scan he wakes up in a distant future and discovers that his brain scan was used as a sort of programming template and that there are many (modified) versions of him living on in robots. Throughout the game this has many more implications. Also at the dawn of humankind the earth sends out a satellite called the Ark which houses some kind of simulated reality inhabited by the brain scans of selected humans since earth has become uninhabitable.
