Adding another sci-fi book recommendation that explores these themes; in The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi there is a moving city on Mars where citizens that run out of time, their currency allowing them to live in the city, have their consciousness transferred to machine servants that maintain the city. Being a servant for a number of years earns them enough time to return to their bodies and the city.

I created a bare-bones Firefox extension that does this but for copied text. It just appends the website URL and title to the end of the copied selection and uses Alt+Shift+C to trigger the extension.

I like saving stuff as plain text, and when stumbling upon an old quote or code snippet that I've saved it increases the chance that there is some context as to where it came from.

Here's a link to the addon, maybe someone here finds it useful.
