It's not the core concept of the books, but there's a lot of those elements in the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds. Not sure how much I can say without spoiling, but a human merges with a giant spaceship, it's normal for humans in their society to get nanotech implants, and they can and do create different types of clones of themselves using AI.
There's at least 5 major books in that series with several more short stories set in that universe. https://www.goodreads.com/series/56392-revelation-space
If you just want to read the major works, I recommend this order:
For the short stories, a lot of the best ones are in Galactic North, and Nightingale is probably right up your alley.
