    Going to take things a bit out of the box on this one...
    Have you considered looking into how the Druhkari
    (Dark Eldar) work? They literally have a Chaos god
    feeding on their souls all the time, and they have loads
    of fancy tech and augmentations.

    As for what you ask of any kind of story that uses tech
    that feeds on the soul, well no. Closest thing I think of
    off hand is Deus Ex, where augmented people think
    poorly of the natural not augmented people is some
    fashion or another. Then there might be something in
    the religious fiction, about the devil getting your soul if
    you accept a chip/mech enhancement/etc.

    Once the augmentations make huge changes or erase the
    original person, then that would be the closest your going
    to get without having to look into more fantastical elements
    to explain why cyber people don't have souls.
