In the ''[[Stargate]]'' television series, characters are able to communicate instantaneously over long distances by transferring their consciousness into another person or being anywhere in the universe using "[[Ancient (Stargate)|Ancient]] communication stones". It is not known how these stones operate, but the technology explained in the show usually revolves around [[wormhole]]s for instant teleportation, faster-than-light, space-warping travel, and sometimes around [[quantum multiverse]]s.

In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Time for the Stars]]'', [[twin telepathy]] was used to maintain communication with a distant spaceship.

[[Peter F. Hamilton]]'s ''[[Void Trilogy]]'' features psychic links between the multiple bodies simultaneously occupied by some characters.

In [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s [[Skyward (novel)|''Skyward'']] series, characters are able to use "Cytonics" to communicate instantaneously over any distance by sending messages via an inter-dimensional reality called "nowhere".
