* The ''Last Survivors'' series is done this way.
* John Barnes' ''[[wikipedia:The Sky So Big and Black|The Sky So Big And Black]]'' is set in a solar system where they're [[Terraforming]] Mars for living room. They can't use Earth any more, because it's inhabited by a [[Hive Mind]] united by a behavioural [[MeMemetic MeMutation|meme]], Resuna, which is aggressively trying to spread itself to the rest of humanity (it just wants to help!). The novel is the log of a psychiatrist going over and adding to his notes of his latest patient, plucky [[Action Girl]] Teri, and is one part her adventures [[Terraforming]], one part a discussion of exactly how memes work to take over a person, and one part, well, where these two things intersect. The psychiatrist catches the meme off Teri, and the entries in his log show his mind going.
* Played with in ''[[World War Z]]'', which is an oral history of a narrowly-averted [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
* ''And the Ass Saw the Angel'', by Nick Cave, is the protagonist's stream of thought as he sinks into [[Quicksand Sucks|quicksand]].
