Weber's new series Manticore Ascendant is pretty interesting in this regard. And it's not like he hasn't put a lot of thought into it, the main character of one of his short stories is killed by an improperly designed cockpit. Corey does a decent job, but he still fall back on the ubiquitous crash couch which comes across more like an ejection seat or at best a recliner. I wish more authors would put a bit more thought into their space ship designs. Ad in some mechanical stimulation to keep the circulatory system working and you're looking at a fighter that can sustain twice as much sustained acceleration as the usual fighters we see in media.
You could have the pilot lying on his back looking straight "up".
After all there's no aerodynamic restraints to consider and all the forces will be acting along a single axis.
I'm not sure it would have much merit in space though. I don't know about literature, but the Royal Air Force did test it in reality. Starbuck had to do that when she took control of the downed Cylon raider in the BSG reboot.

That kinder, gentler means had become available to resolve the disputes which arose between the Alliance and the petty kingdoms. Some said the Alliance no longer needed the Judgment of God now that the Emperor had returned. She was a ruthless bird of prey built for a brutal purpose, to beat back Shay'tan after the Eternal Emperor had abandoned the Alliance to fend for itself. She could birth hundreds of fighter raptors simultaneously to swarm the enemy, and if that failed, alongside her flocked dozens of smaller battle cruisers. Eight pulse cannons clustered near each of her launch bays, giving her the appearance of a war hawk flexing her talons. Launch apparatus for a planet killer curved out of her nose cone like a raptor's beak, while rail guns bristled out of her hull like sharp, grey feathers. "The Jehoshaphat was a dark grey falcon of a warship, with twin muscular hyperdrives which rose out of her back like a pair of Angelic's wings. Thank goodness for MS-Search :-) Here's how I describe the weaponry when we encounter it again in Book 3 of the series, Sword of the Gods: Agents of Ki.
