Five Books About Duplicating Human Beings
For some reason, cloning or copying people never goes according to plan...

In _Perry Rhodan_, #200..299, the Very Big Bads also use a matter
duplicator ("Multiduplikator") to duplicate and edit people. IIRC,
they even create an evil twin of Perry Rhodan himself.
In Netflix's _Altered Carbon_, the resolution to the first season
hinges on an illegal clone. I expect the plot is from Richard
Morgan's novel, but I don't know.
In the universe of Greg Egan's _Diaspora_, one branch of humanity
are the polis citizens who live as purely digital uploads. A short
story set in this universe is "The Planck Dive", where some polis
citizens fork themselves, with one copy diving voluntarily into a
black hole for exploration purposes, knowing full well that they
are unlikely to escape.
